Question

Find the total surface area of this cuboid.
5 cm
4 cm
6 cm

Answer 1

The surface area of given cuboid is: 148 square centimeters

Explanation:

Let

l = 5

w = 4

h = 6

The cuboid has 6 rectangular surfaces.

The surface area of a cuboid with height h, length l and width w is given by:

`TSA = 2 ( lw+wh+hl )`

Putting the values

`TSA = 2(5*4 + 4*6 + 6*5)\\= 2(20+24+30)\\=2(74)\\=148\ cm^2`

Hence,

The surface area of given cuboid is: 148 square centimeters
