A cuboid is a solid figure with six rectangular faces. The most common examples of cuboids include boxes, books, bricks, and even a large number of packages. Calculation of the surface area of a cuboid enables one to determine the whole area occupied by its outer faces.<\/span><\/p>

How to calculate the surface area of a cuboid? You just need the dimensions of the cuboid and use the right formula.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A cuboid surface area is the total surface area of the six rectangular faces of a cuboid. Opposite sides of a cuboid are identical; therefore, we get:<\/span><\/p>

  • Top and bottom face: length \u00d7 width<\/span><\/li>
  • Front and back face: length \u00d7 height<\/span><\/li>
  • Left and right face: width \u00d7 height<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    Total surface area can be obtained by summing the areas of all the six faces.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
