Answer

Maximum diameter of circle can be 28 cm (Since, each edge is 28 cm).

So, radius = 282\dfrac{28}{2} = 14 cm.

Area of each unpainted face = Area of square - Area of circle

= side2 - πr2

= 282 - 227×(14)2\dfrac{22}{7} \times (14)^2

= 784 - 616

= 168 cm2.

Since, there are 6 faces in cube.

Total area of unpainted face = 6 × 168 = 1008 cm2.

Hence, total area of unpainted surface = 1008 cm2.
