Describe how the two figures below are alike and how they are different. Which box has larger lateral surface areas?
Surface area: Surface area is the amount of space covering the outside of a three-dimensional shape.
As from figure it is clear that
Diameter of cylinder
Radius of cylinder
Height of cylinder Also,
Dimension of cube is of
i.e Both figures have the same heights.
Firstly Lateral surface area of cube
Also lateral surface area of cylinder =
As we can see CSA of Cylinder is and Lateral surface area of the Cube is
Hence, a cube has a larger surface area.
