Question

The volume of a cuboid, whose length and height are equal is 108 m3. If the breadth is 12 m, find the cuboid's length and surface area.

Answer 1

Surface area = 162 m^2

Explanation:

Below is the given values:

Length of cuboid = Height of cuboid

The volume of the cuboid = 108 m^3

The breadth of the cuboid = 12 m

Now use the volume formula:

Volume = area of one surface × height

Volume = (L x B) * H

(L x 12) * H = 108 (L = H)

L x 12 x L = 108

L^2 = 108/12

L = 3 m

Thus length and height is = 3m

Surface area = 2 (L x B + b x h + L x h)

Surface area = 2 (3 x 12 + 12 x 3 + 3x 3)

Surface area = 162 m^2
