What is the lateral surface area and total surface area of a cuboid?
Lateral Surface Area of Cuboid = Sum of Areas of its four sides
= (Length x Height) + (Width x Height) + (Length x Height) + (Width x Height)
= 2{(Length x Height) + (Width x Height)}
= 2( lh + bh) [ As its width is equal to its breadth]
= 2h( l + b)
Now, Total Surface Area of the Cuboid is the sum of the areas of all its faces
= Lateral Surface Area + Area of Bottom + Area of Top
= (2lh + 2bh) + lb + lb
= 2lh + 2bh + 2lb
= 2(lb + bh + lh)
Hope it helps.
