First, we need to find the area of the hexagon when it is enlarged with a scale factor of 3.
The area of a hexagon can be calculated using the formula:
Area = (3√3/2) * s^2
Where s is the length of one side of the hexagon.
Since the cube has all sides of 2 cm, the length of one side of the hexagon will be equal to the diagonal of one face of the cube. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the diagonal of the face of the cube:
d = √(2^2 + 2^2) d = √(4 + 4) d = √8 d = 2√2
Now, we can calculate the area of the hexagon when it is enlarged with a scale factor of 3:
s = 2√2 * 3 s = 6√2
Area = (3√3/2) * (6√2)^2 Area = (3√3/2) * 36 * 2 Area = (3√3/2) * 72 Area = 108√3 cm^2
Therefore, the area of the hexagon when it is enlarged with a scale factor of 3 will be 108√3 cm^2.

Step 1: Find the surface area of the original cube.
Surface area of a cube = 6 - (side length)^2 Surface area = 6 - (2 cm)^2 Surface area = 6 - 4 cm^2 Surface area = 24 cm^2
Step 2: Find the scale factor for the surface area.
