Hi,
the formula for same is = SIDE *$$\sqrt{3}$$ =$$10\sqrt{3}$$..

Just for info.. - how (Side *$$\sqrt{3}$$) comes?

Take any face of the cube, say bottom face - AHDE,
its diagonal, AE= $$\sqrt{SUM- of- square -of -two- sides}$$ = $$\sqrt{AD^2+DE^2} = \sqrt{10^2+10^2} = 2\sqrt{10}$$..

Now take triangle AEF, AF is the hyp and AE and EF are two sides...
so AF = $$\sqrt{(2*\sqrt{10})^2+10^2} = \sqrt{10^2(2+1)} = 10\sqrt{3}$$
