Question

if a solid cube is broken in to four smaller cubes then will the total surface area increses or decreses or remain same?

Answer 1

If a solid cube is broken into 4 small cubes,then its surface area will increase
Surface area of a cube = 6x leanthx leanth - [1 solid cube]
                                 = 4 x 6x leanthx leanth -[4 small cubes]

Answer 2

IN SUCH CASE THE TOTAL SURFACE AREA WILL SURELY INCREASE
