Surface Area of a Cube


Formula

Definition
Surface Area of a cube is the total area of the
outside surfaces of the cube and is given by A=
6a2, where a is the edge.

A cube has 6 identical square faces and hence it is


also called as a hexahedron. Each face of a cube
has 4 edges and totally there are 12 edges. It is
measured in terms of square unit.

How to Find the Surface Area of a Cube


The Surface Area of a Cube Formula is,

Surface area of Cube = 6a2, where “a” is the side


length of the cube.

Solved Examples
Question 1: What is the surface area of a cube of
side 5 cm?
Solution:

Given,
Side of the cube = a = 5 cm
Surface Area of a Cube = 6a2
= 6 × 52 cm2
= 6 × 25 cm2
= 150 cm2
Question 2: What is the surface area of a cube of
side 17 cm?
Solution:

Given,
Side of the cube = a = 17 cm
Surface Area of a Cube = 6a2
= 6 × 172 cm2
= 6 × 289 cm2
= 1734 cm2
Question 3: Find the side of a cube whose surface
area is 1014 cm2.

Solution:

Given surface area of a cube = 1014 cm2

Let “a” be the side of the cube.


We know that,

Surface area of cube = 6a2

6a2 = 1014

a2 = 1014/6

a2 = 169

a = √169

a = 13

Therefore, side of the cube = 13 cm
