How to Use Surface Area of a Cube Formula to Solve Maths Questions
Cube
A cube is a three-dimensional solid object with six square faces, twelve edges, and eight vertices.
As the cube has six faces, we can call it a regular hexahedron.

Surface Area of a Cube
The surface area of the cube is defined as the sum of the area of the bases and the area of lateral surfaces.
The surface area of a cube can be divided into two categories.
– Total surface area
– Lateral surface area
Total Surface Area of a Cube (TSA)
The total surface area of a cube is defined as the sum of the areas of all sides of a cube, including its
top-bottom bases and the remaining surfaces.
Lateral Surface Area of Cube (LSA)
The lateral surface area of a cube is defined as the sum of the areas of all sides of a cube except its top and bottom bases.
