The surface area of a cube formed

Question:

The surface area of a cube formed by cutting a cuboid of dimensions 2 x 1 x 1 in 2 equal parts, is 2 sq units.

Solution:

 False

The dimensions of the given cuboid are 2 x 1 x 1. It is sliced into two equal parts, which are cubes.

Then, the dimensions of the cube, so formed are 1 x 1 x 1.

...The surface area of the cube so formed = 6 (Side)2 = 6 x (1)2 = 6sq units

Hence, the surface area of the sliced cube is 6 sq units.
