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.
find the surface area of one of the faces (all of the faces are the same if it is a true cube) for example if the length is 2 and the width is 2 then u multiply that and get the surface area of that then since there is 6 faces to a cube so u multiply the surface area of one of the faces by 6
Like the answer before, the cube has 6 sides. So instead of SA= 6e sq., you do 6xS sq.
Determine the area of one face (2m x 2m = 42m). Multiply by the number of faces on a cube - 6. So, 6 x 42m = 242m total surface area.
It depends, but in let's look at a simple example to help you see how. How would you find the surface area of a cube. Find the surface area of one of the faces and since there are six of those, multiply it by 6. For example, a 2x2x2 cube. Each face has a surface area of 4 and there are 6 of them so the total surface area is 24 units. We do the same thing with other 3d objects, but it may be harder to find the surface area of faces. In face, sometimes there are no faces and we may need calculus to find the surface area.
