how do you calculate the surface area of a 3d figure

Hey, sorry but we only do literature related questions on this site.

formula: 6 a 2    In words, the surface area of a cube is the area of the six squares that cover it. The area of one of them is a*a, or a 2 . Since these are all the same, you can multiply one of them by six, so the surface area of a cube is 6 times one of the sides squared.
