Question

If V is the volume of a cuboid of dimensions a,b,c and S is its surface area then prove that1V=2S(1a+1b+1c).

Solution

Given dimensions of cuboid are a, b and c.
Therefore, volume of cuboid, V = abc → (1)
Surface area of cuboid, S = 2(ab + bc + ca) → (2)
Now divide (2) with (1), we get
s over v equals fraction numerator 2 open parentheses a b plus b c plus c a close parentheses over denominator a b c end fraction
space space space space equals 2 open square brackets fraction numerator a b over denominator a b c end fraction plus fraction numerator b c over denominator a b c end fraction plus fraction numerator c a over denominator a b c end fraction close square brackets
space space space space space equals 2 open square brackets 1 over c plus 1 over a plus 1 over b close square brackets
h e n c e space 1 over v equals 2 over s open square brackets 1 over c plus 1 over a plus 1 over b close square brackets
