Question 2.

ICSE Class 8 Maths Selina Solutions Chapter 21 Image 3

(ii) The volume of a cuboid is 7.68 m3. If its length = 3.2m and height =1.0m; find its breadth.

Solution:-

 Volume of a cuboid =7.68 m3

Length of a cuboid =3.2 m

Height of a cuboid =1.0 m

Here

Length x Breadth x Height = Volume of a cuboid

Substituting the values

3.2 × Breadth × 1.0=7.68

By further calculation

(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:-

Volume of a rectangular solid =1.92 m3

Breadth of a rectangular solid = 1.20 m

Height of a rectangular solid =80 cm=0.8 m

Here

Length × Breadth × Height = Volume of a rectangular solid (cubical)

Substituting the values

Length × 1.20 × 0.8 = 1.92

By further calculation

Length × 0.96 = 1.92

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

Volume of the given cuboid = Length × Breadth ×height

Substituting the values

=5x×3x×2x=30x3

It is given that

Volume =240cm3

Substituting the values

30x3=240cm3

By further calculation

ICSE Class 8 Maths Selina Solutions Chapter 21 Image 6

Here

Length of the given cube =5x=5×2=10cm

Breadth of the given cube =3x=3×2=6cm

Height of the given cube =2x=2×2=4cm

We know that

Total surface area of the given cuboid =2(1×b+b×h+h×1)

Substituting the values

=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

Total surface area of the given cuboid =2(1×b+b×h+h×l)

Substituting the values

ICSE Class 8 Maths Selina Solutions Chapter 21 Image 7

x=2 cm

Here

Length of the cuboid =6x=6×2=12cm

Breadth of the cuboid =5x=5×2=10cm

Height of the cuboid =3x=3×2=6cm

We get

Volume of the cuboid =l×b×h=12×10×6=720cm3

Question 5.
