Surface Area of a Cube = 6 a(squared)

It's easy to know.
How many faces does a cube (e.g a dice) have? 6 of course.
Now, picture each face as a square. That means there are 6 squares in a cube.
What is the area of a square? Length X Length = L^2. Now each square has that as it's area. The area of all the six faces is what is called the lateral surface area, and that gives you
6 X Length ^2.
Do you understand now?

lateral surfaces are the surfaces of a prism/pyramid which does not include bases. The formula for the area of the lateral surfaces of a cube (square parallelepiped) is:
LA = 4s²

lateral surface area is the area of 4 sides of the cube i.e. excluding the top and bottom. wich is area of 1 side of cube multiplied by 4
= 4 X (length of side) X (length of side)

if it has a side of legnth L then
lateral surface area = 4L²
suz we have just 4 sides (lateral) not the total the have 6 sides
total surface area = 6L²

Depends on the length of the sides.
