2m×20cm×10cm is cut on small blocks of 10cm×5cm×4cm
2m=200cm, so it's really
200cm×20cm×10cm is cut on small blocks of 10cm×5cm×4cm
The first block has a volume of 40,000 cubic cm.
The second block has a volume of 200 cubic cm.
The first block contains volume equal to 200 of the second.
The second sized blocks have 6 faces 2*((10*5)+10*4)+(4*5)) = 210 sq cm (you see, a rectangular solid has 2 of each of the 3 sized faces, so 3 multiplies, then times 2)
210 sq cm each times 200 blocks is 42,000 sq cm.
