Q4 of 32 Page 115

Total surface area of a cube is 5400 sq. cm. Find the surface area of all vertical faces of the cube.

Given: Total surface area of cube = 5400 cm2

And we know total surface area of cube is given by,


TSA = 6 (side)2


5400 = 6 (side)2 [, it given that TSA = 5400 cm2]


(side)2 = 5400/6


(side)2 = 900


side = √900


side = 30


Now we know side = 30 cm.


Let side = s.


So, to find surface area of all vertical faces of the cube, we need to add front side area, back side area, left side area and right side area of the cube.


, Surface area (SA) = (Area of front face) + (Area of back face) + (Area of left face) + (Area of right face)


SA = s2 + s2 + s2 + s2 = 4s2


SA = 4 (30)2


SA = 3600


Thus, surface area of all vertical faces of the cube is 3600 cm2.
