Back Exercise

Exercise 13.1

[Unless stated otherwise, take π = ]

Question 1.
2 cubes each of volume 64 cm³ are joined end to end. Find the surface area of the resulting cuboid.
Solution:
Let the length of side of the cube be a cm.
Then, its volume = a³ cm³   ⇒  a³ = 64   [Given]
⇒ a = = 4 cm
By joining the two cubes, a cuboid is formed withe length, breadth and height 8 cm, 4 cm and 4 cm respectively.
∴ Surface area of the cuboid = 9(lb + bh + hl)
