In geometry, a solid shape whose faces are all squares. It has 6 equal-area faces and 12 equal-length edges.

If the length of one edge is l, the volume (V) of the cube is given by:

V = l3

Its surface area (A) is calculated by finding the area of one square:

l × l = l2;

and multiplying it by 6:

6 × l2

A = 6l2
