PROBLEM: If two cubes with 64 cubic cms. each are combined to form into a cuboid, then what is the total surface area of such cuboid so formed? SOLUTION: Given: Volume of cube = 64 cubic cms. It means, a.a.a = 64 a = cubeth root of 64 a = 4 cm. Thus, side of each cube is 4 cms. Now, if two cubes with side 4 cms each are combined into a cuboid, the length, l of cuboid would be 4+4=8 cms. It's height, h would be 4cms. and it's breadth, b would be 4cms. TOTAL SURFACE AREA(TSA): METHOD 1 Now, total surface area of cuboid = 2(lb+bh+lh) = 2(8*4 + 4*4 + 8*4) = 2(32+16+32) ...
