The extra surface area is the area covered inside, and the area of each small cube is 6.

There are three vertex positions of eight that have not been leaked out. The increased surface area of this part is 8*3=24.

There are four non-leakage surfaces in the middle, and the increased surface area of this part is 4*4= 16.

The total * * * increased surface area is 40.

Have you made it clear? If not, you can continue to ask. If you understand, you still want to adopt.
