Given:

Diagonal of cube = 6√3 cm

Calculations:

Diagonal of cube = √3 × side 

⇒ 6√3 = side √3

Hence, side = 6

So, length of cuboid = 3 × 6 = 18 

Breadth = 6 and height= 6

So, the surface area of the cuboid

= 2(lb + bh + lh)

= 2(108 + 36 + 108)

= 2 × 252 cm²

= 504 cm²

Hence, The Required value is 504 cm².
