Class 9 | Chapter 13 | Surface areas and Volumes | Exercise 13.1 | Question 2

Prerequisite

Finding surface area of a cube or a cuboid is quite simple. Every cube/cuboid has 6 sides. All we need is find the area of all six sides and add – this will be the total surface area of the cube/cuboid.

A cube is a cuboid that has all edges of equal length. Hence, every cube is a cuboid as well but every cuboid is not a cube. 

It is recommended to understand the core concept of area, surface area and volume before we attempt any question based on these concepts.
