The length, breadth and height of a cuboid are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 6 and its volume is 576 cm3. The whole surface area of the cuboid is

We know that,

Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


576 = 3x × 4x × 6x


576 = 72x3


x =


= 2


Therefore,


Total surface area of cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + hl)


= 2 (3x × 4x + 4x × 6x + 6x × 3x)


= 2 (48 + 96 + 72)


= 432 cm2
