MCQ
The total surface area of a cube is $96\ cm^2.$ Find its lateral surface area.
  • $64\ cm^2$
  • B
    $512\ cm^2$
  • C
    $27\ cm^2$
  • D
    $32\ cm^2$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$64\ cm^2$

Total surface area of cube $=6 a ^2$ (let a be a side of cube)
So, $6 a^2=96$
$a^2=\frac{96}{6}=16$
$a=4 cm$
Now, lateral surface area of cube is $4 a^2$
So, $4 a^2=4 \times(4)^2$
$=4 \times 16$
$=64 cm^2$
