Question 60

State whether the following statement is true or false:

The surface area of a cube formed by cutting a cuboid of dimensions $2\times 1\times 1$ in 2 equal parts, is 2 sq. units.

Answer 1

False
The dimensions of the given cuboid are $2\times 1\times 1$. It is sliced into two equal parts, which are cubes.
Then, the dimensions of the cube, so formed are $1\times 1\times 1$
$\therefore$ The surface area of the cube so formed $=6(Side{)}^2=6\times (1{)}^2=6squnits$
Hence, the surface area of the sliced cube is 6 sq units.
