Surface Area of a Cube

The region covered by the sides of a cube that is placed in a three-dimensional space is called the surface area of the cube. We have been surrounded by numerous solid objects which have their own area as well as volume. The area defines the space occupied by the objects and volume defines the space that can be contained inside that object.

Here, we will discuss the surface area of the cube. But first, let us recall some properties of the cube.

A cube consists of six faces, eight edges and eight vertices. The area of the faces of a cube is the same as they are for the squares. One of the well-known examples of a cube is a Rubik's cube. You will also get numerous examples, all things considered, such as container boxes, storage trunks, and so forth. So at whatever point we think to keep such objects in a space or area, we have to realize the surface area to locate a suitable spot for that object. Another 3-D figure, namely cuboid, also looks the same as a cube, the contrast among cube and cuboid is cuboid has just its parallel sides equivalent whereas a cube has all of its sides equivalent.
