Study Notes

What Is a Cube

A cube is a 3-dimensional geometric solid with 6 faces, each shaped like a square.
Each face of a cube is congruent, meaning identical in size and shape.
Examples of cubes include sugar cubes, dice, and children's alphabet blocks.

Surface Area of a Cube

The area of a 2-dimensional shape is the number of unit squares needed to cover the shape.
Area is measured in square units.
The surface area of a 3-dimensional cube is the number of unit squares needed to cover its outside surfaces.
Surface area is also measured in unit squares.

Calculating the Surface Area of a Cube

The surface area of a cube is the sum of the areas of its six faces.
Each face of a cube is a congruent square, with an identical area.
The surface area of a cube can be calculated by finding the area of one face (side x side) and multiplying it by six.
The formula to find the surface area of a cube is SA = 6s^2, where SA is the surface area and s is the length of one side of the cube.
