The volume of a wall, 5 times as high as it is broad and 8 times as long as it is high, is 12.8 m3. The breadth of the wall is

Given: The volume of a wall is 12.8 m3.


Height is 5 times the breadth and Length is 8 times the height.


Let breadth = x


Height = 5x


Length = 8 × (5x) = 40x


Volume of a Cuboid is given by: l × b × h (here l, b, h are, length, breadth, height respectively)


l × b × h = 12.8


x × 5x × 40x = 12.8


200x3 = 12.8


x3 = m3 =


x= m = m = 0.4 m


x = 0.4m = 0.4 × 100 = 40cm


That is Breadth is: 40cm
