The surface area of a cuboid is 1372 cm2. If its dimensions are in the ratio 4: 2:1, then its length(in cm) is:
28
SA = 1372 cm2 (Given)
2(l × b + b × h + l × h) = 1372
Since, it is given that
l:b:h = 4:2:1
Let l=4k, b=2k and h=k
Therefore, 2(4k × 2k + 2k × k +4k × k) = 1372
28k2 = 1372
k2 = 49
k = 7
Therefore, l = 4k = 4 × 7 = 28cm
