SOLVED EXAMPLES
surface area of a cuboid
SAPLE1. Find the volume, the total surface area and the lateral
which is 8 m long, 6 m broad and 3.5 m high.
hution
Volume of the cuboid = (lx bx h) cubic units
=(8 x6x 3.5) m =168 m.
Total surface area of thecuboid = 2(b + bh+ lh)sq units
= 2(8 x 6+6x3.5+8x3.5) m?
=194 nm
Lateral surface area of the cuboid = {2(l + b) x h} m?
=(2(8 +6) x3.5} m?
- 98 m'
ENPLE 2. How many bricks will be required for a wall which is 8 m long, 6 m hgh and
22.5 cm thick if each brick measures 25 cm x 11.25 cm x6 cm?
Sghution Length of the wall = (8x100) cm = 800 cm.
Breadth of the wall = 22.5 cm.
Height of the wall = (6x100)cm = 600 cm.
Volume of the wall= (800 x 22.5 x 600) cm°.
Volume of 1brick = (25 x11.25 x 6) cm'.
Number of bricks required = volume of the wall
volume of 1 brick
800x 22.5 x 600
25 x11,25 x 6
= 6400.
