Cube

       

cube 

The cube has 6 sides, 8 vertices, and 12 edges To find the surface area of a cube,   find the area of one side (L x W), and then multiply by the total number of  sides (6).  Remember to count all the hidden sides!  If all three lengths are equal it can be called a cube (or hexahedron) and each face will be a square. A cube is still a prism. And a cube is one of the Platonic Solids.

 SURFACE AREA = (L x W) x 6 

Volume is the amount of space a three-dimensional shape occupies.  To find the volume of a shape, use this formula: Length x Width x Height.

VOLUME = L x W x H
