Calculate the lateral area of the cube if the perimeter of the base is 12

The lateral surface area of cube = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given perimeter of the cube is 12

let 'a' be the base of cube

we know that the perimeter of cube formula = 12 a

12 a = 12

a = 1

The side of cube = 1cm

The lateral surface area of cube = 4 * a²

= 4 X (1) ²

= 4

Final answer:-

The lateral surface area of cube = 4
