A cube is a 3 dimensional object and like a box it has 6 sides. Let's use square sides to construct our cube. each side is 2x2 inches or 4 sq. inches per side and are themselves 2 dimensional. We have 6 x ( 4 sq. inch sides) that make up the cube or 24 sq. inches. of surface area ( still 2 dimensional ). To derive the volume which is 3 dimensional we simply multiply the edge of one of the 6 equal sides by itself 3 times. Edge x edge x edge. Substituting 2 inches for one edge, we get: 2in x 2in x 2in = 8 cubic inches. The surface area is 24 sq inches. The ratio of surface area to volume in our example is: 24 sq. inches / 8 cubic inches. further reducing terms 24/8 results in 3 sq. inches for each cubic inch of cube. { dimension's: inch, sq. inch, cubic inch. }
The shape is called a square based cuboid and its volume is 12 cubic inches.
5cm equals 2in.
the answer is 31in. unit
12 sq. in.
