When the side length of a cube increases by 20%, what percentage of its area increases?

When the side length of a cube increases by 20%, what percentage of its area increases?

"Xiaodao pursues the wind":
The original area is 1 & sup 2; × 6 = 6
2 & sup2; × 6 = 8.64
The area increased by 8.64-6 = 2.64 with the increase of side length
The increased area is 2.64 △ 6 = 0.44 of the original area
A: its area has increased by 44%
Good luck and goodbye
