The dimensions of a cuboid are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3 and its Total surface area is 88 $m^{2}$ . The volume of cuboid is___ $m^{3}$

Open in App

Solution

The sides will be $x, 2 x, 3 x$

Total surface area $= 2 (x \times 2 x + 2 x \times 3 x + x \times 3 x)$

$\Rightarrow 2 (2 x^{2} + 6 x^{2} + 3 x^{2}) = 88$

$\Rightarrow 22 x^{2} = 88$

$\Rightarrow x = 2$

So, the sides are 2 cm, 4 cm and 6 cm.

So, volume $= 2 \times 4 \times 6 = 48 m^{3}$
