Exercise
Question 1.
Find the volume and the total surface area of a cuboid, whose:
(i) Length = 15cm, breadth = 10cm and height = 8cm.
Solution:-
We know that
Question 2.

Surface Area, Volume and Capacity
(ii) The volume of a cuboid is 7.68 m3. If its length = 3.2m and height =1.0m; find its breadth.
Solution:-
(iii) The breadth and height of a rectangular solid are 1.20 m and 80 cm respectively. If the volume of the
cuboid is 1.92 m3; find its length.
Solution:-
Question 3.
The length, breadth and height of a cuboid are in the ratio 5:3:2. If its volume is 240cm3, find its
dimensions. (Dimensions means: its length, breadth and height). Also find the total surface area of
the cuboid.
Solution:-
Consider length of the given cuboid =5x
Breadth of the given cuboid =3x
Height of the given cuboid =2x
We know that
=5x×3x×2x=30x3
It is given that
Volume =240cm3
Substituting the values
30x3=240cm3
By further calculation

Here
=2(10×6+6×4+4×10)=2(60+24+40)=2×124=248cm2
Question 4.
The length, breadth and height of a cuboid are in the ratio 6:5:3. If its total surface area is 504 c m2; find its
dimensions. Also, find the volume of the cuboid.
Solution:-
Consider length of the cuboid =6x
Breadth of the cuboid =5x
Height of the cuboid =3x
We know that
x=2 cm
Here
Question 5.
Find the volume and total surface area of a cube whose edge is:
(i) 8 cm
Solution:-
Edge of the given cube =8cm
We know that
(ii) 2m 40 cm.
Solution:-
(ii)Edge of the given cube =2 m 40 cm=2.40 m
We know that
