How do i find the surface area of a cube

1. The formula for calculating the surface area of a cube is:
SA = length × width × number of sides (6)
Therefore, the surface area of a cube that is 1 cm on a side is 1 cm × 1 cm × 6 sides = 6 cm2
2. The formula for calculating the volume of a cube is:
V = length × width × height
Therefore, the volume of a cube that is 1 cm on each side is 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm = 1 cm3
3. The surface area to volume ratio is:
SA ÷ V
For a cube that is 1 cm on a side, SA/V ratio is 6 ÷ 1 = 6.
Calculate the SA/V ratio for a cube that is 3 cm on each side.
Calculate the SA/V ratio for a cube that is 3 cm on each side.
