Solution

Let the length of each edge of cube = s cmNow, when 2 cubes are joined end to end, then cuboid is formed.Length of cuboid, l = 2sbreadth of cuboid, b = sheight of cuboid, h = sTSA of cuboid = 640 cm22lb+bh+hl = 6402s×s+s×s+s×2s = 3202s2+s2+2s2 = 3205s2 = 320s2 = 64s = 8So, length of each edge of cube = s = 8 cm
