In the case of a cube<span>, the </span>lateral<span> surface </span>area<span> consists of the </span>area<span> of four of the </span>cube's<span> sides added together, or 4 times the </span>area<span> of one of the </span>cube's<span> sides. Thus, the </span>lateral<span> surface </span>area<span> of a </span>cube<span> can be found using the </span>formula<span> 4s^2, where s is the side length of the </span>cube<span>. </span> hope this helps :)
