How Do You Calculate Cubic Area?

The surface area of a cube is the total sum of the area of the six sides that cover it, and it is calculated by using the formula A = 6a^2. Measure the area of one side of the cube. Multiply that number by 6 to arrive at the total surface area of the cube.

1. Use the correct formula

   The formula to calculate the surface area of a cube is A = 6a^2, where a equals one edge of the cube.

2. Calculate the area of one side

   Calculate the area of one side of the cube by calculating the square of the length of one side of the cube.

3. Calculate the surface area

   Multiply the area of the side of the cube by 6 to get the total surface area of the cube.
