Lateral Surface Area of Cube given Face Diagonal Calculator

Calculate Lateral Surface Area



Formula

The formula to calculate the Lateral Surface Area of a Cube given its face diagonal is:

\[ \text{LSA} = 2 \cdot d_{\text{Face}}^2 \]

Definition

The Lateral Surface Area of a Cube is the total area of all the lateral surfaces (excluding the top and bottom faces) of the cube. The face diagonal is the distance between any pair of opposite corners on a particular square face of the cube.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{LSA} = 2 \cdot 14^2 \approx 392 \, \text{square meters} \]

The Lateral Surface Area is approximately 392 square meters.
