Q1EXERCISE 12.1

2 cubes each of volume 64 cm364 \text{ cm}^{3} are joined end to end. Find the surface area of the resulting cuboid.

Solution

Given: Volume of each cube = 64 cm364 \text{ cm}^3.
To Find: The surface area of the resulting cuboid.
Solution: Let the edge of each cube be 'a'. The volume of a cube is given by the formula V=a3V = a^3. a3=64 cm3a^3 = 64 \text{ cm}^3 a=643=4 cma = \sqrt[3]{64} = 4 \text{ cm}
When two cubes are joined end to end, they form a cuboid. The dimensions of the resulting cuboid are: Length (ll) = 4 cm+4 cm=8 cm4 \text{ cm} + 4 \text{ cm} = 8 \text{ cm} Breadth (bb) = 4 cm4 \text{ cm} Height (hh) = 4 cm4 \text{ cm}
Formula: The surface area of a cuboid is given by 2(lb+bh+hl)2(lb + bh + hl).
Calculation: Surface Area = 2×(8×4+4×4+4×8)2 \times (8 \times 4 + 4 \times 4 + 4 \times 8) =2×(32+16+32)= 2 \times (32 + 16 + 32) =2×(80)= 2 \times (80) =160 cm2= 160 \text{ cm}^2
Final Answer: The surface area of the resulting cuboid is 160 cm2160 \text{ cm}^2.
