if you are finding the surface area of a cube, first find the area of one side by multiplying length X width and then multiply the area of one side of the cube by 6. that would be the surface area of the cube
Take the cube root of the volume to get the length of an edge. Square this number to get the area of a side, Multiply this by 6 to get the total surface area of the cube.
A cube has six faces, and if you multiply the area of a face by six, you'll get the cube's surface area. The area of a face is given by multiplying the length of an edge by itself. It's like the length times the width to find the area of a recangle, but since a square has a length that's equal to a width, it's just an edge (e) times itself or e x e or e2 for that area. Surface areacube = 6 e2 The surface area of the cube equals 6 times the square of the length of the edge. Cool eh?
Surface Area of a Cube = 6 a 2(a is the length of the side of each edge of the cube)In words, the surface area of a cube is the area of the six squares that cover it. The area of one of them is a*a, or a 2 . Since these are all the same, you can multiply one of them by six, so the surface area of a cube is 6 times one of the sides squared.
From the surface area, calculate the length of each side: area = 6 x side2.Once you know this side, you can get the cube of it, to obtain the volume.
