Question

Find the total surface area of a cube with side one meter.

Answer 1

Hint: In this question, first of all draw the diagram of the cube with length 1 metre which will give us an idea of what we have to find. Then substitute the given length in the formula of total surface area of the cube to get the required solution.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Given side of cube = 1 m

We know that the total surface area of a cube of side length ‘\[a\]’ is given by \[S = 6{a^2}\].
So, the total surface area of the given cube with 1 metre side length is given by
\[
   \Rightarrow S = 6{\left( 1 \right)^2} \\
  \therefore S = 6{\text{ }}{{\text{m}}^2} \\
\]
Therefore, the total surface area of the given cube is \[6{\text{ }}{{\text{m}}^2}\].

Note: The surface area of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. In geometry, a cube is a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets or sides, with three remaining at each corner.
