If the length, breadth and height of a cuboid are in ratio 3: 4: 4 and its volume is 48000 cm3 then find the length, breadth and height of the cuboid.
length = 30 cm, breadth = 40 cm and height = 40 cm
Given: The ratio of length, breadth and height of a cuboid= 3: 4: 4 and volume is 48000cm3
∴ Let the length, breadth and height be 3x, 4x, 4x respectively
∵ Volume of cuboid = length×breadth× height
⇒ 3x × 4x × 4x = 48000cm3
⇒ 48x3 = 48000cm3
⇒ x3 = 1000cm3
⇒ x = 10 cm
Now the length = 3x
= 3 × 10cm
= 30cm
breadth = 4x
= 4 × 10cm
= 40cm
and height = 4x
= 4 × 10cm
= 40cm
