Three cubes each with 8 cm edge are joined end to end. Find the total surface area of the resulting cuboid.

Explanation

To find the total surface area of the resulting cuboid formed by joining three cubes with an edge length of 8 cm, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Determine the dimensions of the cuboid
Since we have three cubes joined end to end, we need to calculate the dimensions of the resulting cuboid.

- **Length (L)**: The length of the cuboid will be the sum of the lengths of the three cubes. Each cube has an edge length of 8 cm, so:
\[
L = 8 \, \text{cm} + 8 \, \text{cm} + 8 \, \text{cm} = 24 \, \text{cm}
