With A Box 10cmx10cmx10cm ,what Is The Surface Area Of One Face?

This is very similar to a few other questions, all relating to areas of squares. The area of a square, or a rectangle, is the length of one side multiplied by the length of another at right angles to it. In a rectangle, this would be the dimension of one of longer sides, multiplied by that of a shorter one.

Your box, is a cube, as all sides are equal. Therefore you need to find the area of a square. Multiply 10x10=100. The area is always designated as the square of the measurement being used. In this case that is centimetres. Therefore the answer is 100cm2, where the 2 is to be above the 'cm', or superscript, to signify 'centimetres squared', or 'square centimetres'

There are a multitude of calculations that you can perform with squares and cubes. These include the surface area of one face, the total surface area and the volume.

The total surface area of a cube is the surface area of one face, multiplied by the number of faces. In the case of this box that is 6x100=600cm2 Again, the 2 needs to be above the 'cm' to signify 'square centimetres'.
