There are 6 x 4 x 1 = 24,

Number of edge cubes are = 16.
so, 24 - 16 = 8.

Leaving edge cubes just count the number of cubes in the middle.
The total number of cubes are 6*4*1=24.
Number of edge cubes are=16,
24- 16 = 8.

There are 6+6+4+4=20 cubes attached to the outer walls of the cuboid. How 16?

(L-2) (B-2) (2-1) = 8.
Note: height is 1 c.m only so (2-h) from formula.
