This example demonstrates the surface area calculation of a cube and cuboid. Key mathematical concepts include area, cube, cuboid, arithmetic mean, and arithmetic operations. Using GeoGebra commands such as Vector, Translate, Polygon, etc., the process of calculating surface area is dynamically illustrated. Suitable for middle and high school students learning geometry and area calculation.
