The LSA (lateral surface area) of a cube of side 1 cm is: (1) 16cm² (2) 4cm² (3) 2cm² (4) 1cm²

The lateral surface area consists of the area of four walls of a cube added together, or 4 times the area of one of the cube's faces.

Answer: The LSA (lateral surface area) of a cube of side 1 cm is 4cm²

Explanation:

Given: Side length of the cube = 1cm

Lateral Surface Area of a cube (LSA) = 4 × side²

=> LSA = 4 × 1³ (since, side = 1cm)

=> LSA = 4 cm²

Thus, the LSA (lateral surface area) of a cube of side 1 cm is 4cm²
