Answer 2

Concept:

A cube is a three-dimensional solid object having six square faces, facets, or sides, three of which meet at each vertex in geometry. All six square faces of the cube have the same dimensions. A regular hexahedron or a square prism are two more names for a cube.

Given:

A cube fits in a box of the thickness of 1cm.

Find:

The area that is covered by the cube if it is placed on the ground.

Solution:

The sides of the cube are equal. So, as the cube fits in the box of 1cm thickness. Then, the length of the side of the cube is 1cm.

The area covered by the cube is = (length of the side)²

                                                        = 1²

                                                        = 1 cm².

Hence, the area covered by the cube is 1 cm².
