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.

Examples of a Cube

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.
