  • Question
  • What are the dimensions (length, breadth and height, respectively) of a cuboid with volume 720 cu cm, surface area 484 sq cm and the area of the base 72 sq cm?


  • Options
  • A. 9, 8 and 10 cm
  • B. 12, 6 and 10 cm
  • C. 18, 4 and 10 cm
  • D. 30, 2 and 12 cm

  • Correct Answer
  • 9, 8 and 10 cm 

    Explanation

    Volume of the cuboid = 720 cm3

    Height of the cuboid = Volume of the cuboid / Base area of the cuboid
    = 720 / 72 = 10 cm [By Hit Trail]

    Surface area of the cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + hl)
    = 2(9 x 8 + 8 x 10 + 10 x 9 )
    = 2 (72 + 80 + 90)
    = 2 x 242
    = 484 cm2

    ? It is obvious that length, breadth and height of the cuboid is 9 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm.
