Given:-

The side of the cube is 12 cm,

Formula used:-

Total surface area = 6 × (side)2 

Calculation:-


The surface area of one face = side × side 

⇒ 12 cm × 12 cm = 144 cm²

Since there are six faces on a cube,

Total surface area = 6 × surface area of one face

  6 × 144 cm² = 864 cm² 

∴ The required answer is 864 square centimeters.
