Three cubes each of side 6 cm are joined end to end. Find the surface area and volume of the resulting cuboid.
Given: Side of cube = 6 cm
To find:
Surface area of cuboid = ?
Volume of cuboid = ?
Formula Used:
Surface area of cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)
Volume of cuboid = l × b × h
Explanation:
The resulting figure is:
Here,
Length of cuboid “l” = 15 cm
Breadth of cuboid “b” = 5 cm
Height of cuboid “h” = 5 cm
Surface area of cuboid = 2 (15×5 + 5×5 + 5×15)
= 2(75 + 25 + 75)
= 2(175)
= 350 cm2
Volume of cuboid = L×B×H
= 15×5×5
= 375 cm3
