Let each side of square be x cm.
6 squares will have [(6 * 2) + 2] sides facing outside.

Therefore, perimeter = 14x = 182

hence x = 13

Perimeter of single square = 4 * 13 = 52 cm.

there are 14 sides therefore
14x=182
x=13
13*4=52

no the total faces faced out will be 16 but it doesn,t count to the perimeter. when you arrange these squares you will get a rectangle whose perimeter will be 10 x. so 10x=182 and since perimeter of cube is 18.2*4=52.8

Perimeter of the rectangle->2(l+b)=182
                                            (l+b)/2=182
                                                  l+b=91
Six squares formed a rectangle ,so length is six times of its breadth
                                            ->6b+b=91
                                           ->7b=91 
                                           ->b=13
so Side of square is 13
perimeter of a square is 4*side=52
