External breadth of the cistern = 108 Cm.
External depth ofthe cistern = 90 cm.
Dternal volume of the cistern = (35 x 108 x 90)cmn

Internal length ofthe cistern ={135 -(2.5 x2)} cm = 130 cm.
Internal breadth of the cistern ={108-(2.5x 2)} cm= 103 cm.

EANPLE9. Find the volume, lateralsurface area and the totalsusface area of a
whose sides measures 8 cm.

Solution Length of each edge of the cube, a =8 cm.

Volume of the cube = a' cubic units
= (8x 8x8) cm=512 cm 3
Lateral surface area of the cube = 4a sq units
= (4 x8x 8) cm = 256 cm.
Total surface area of the cube = 6a2 sq units
= (6x8x 8) cm =384 cm".

BANPLE 10. Find the volume of a cube whose total surface area is 486 cm
Solution Let the length of each edge of the cube be a cm.
Then, its total surface area = (6a) cm.
But, the total surface area of the cube = 486 cm .
6a = 486 ’ a' =81 a= /81 =9.
Thus,the length of each edge of the cube = 9 cm.
Hence, volume of the cube = a cubic units
=(9 x9x9) cm =729 cm
Fnd the total surface area of the cube whose volume is 343 cm'.
Sotution Let the length of each edge of the cube be a cm.
Then, its volume = (a) cm '.
