if the length of the cuboid is 1/2 of the perimeter of square and breadth of the cuboid is 1/4 of the perimeter of the square and height of the cuboid is 3/2 of the side of the square if the side of the square is equal to 1/2 of the length of the rectangle if the breadth of the rectangle is 1/4 of the area of the rectangle which is 64cm2 then find the lateral surface area of the cuboid.
if the length of the cuboid is 1/2 of the perimeter of square and breadth of the cuboid is 1/4 of the perimeter of the square and height of the cuboid is 3/2 of the side of the square if the side of the square is equal to 1/2 of the length of the rectangle if the breadth of the rectangle is 1/4 of the area of the rectangle which is 64cm2 then find the lateral surface area of the cuboid. Correct Answer 36cm<sup>2</sup>
Solution:
Concept:
Area of rectangle = length × breadth
Lateral surface area of cuboid = 2 × (length + breadth) × height
Perimeter of square = 4 × side of the square
Given:
Length of rectangle = (area of rectangle)/breadth of rectangle
breadth = 1/4 × (area of rectangle)
Breadth = 1/4 × 64 = 16cm
Length of rectangle = 4cm
side of square = 1/2 × (Length of rectangle)
side of square = 1/2 × 4 = 2cm
perimeter of square = 4 × side of square
perimeter of square = 4 × 2 = 8cm
Length of cuboid = 1/2 × (perimeter of square)
Length of cuboid = 1/2 × 8 = 4cm
breadth of cuboid = 1/4 × (perimeter of square)
breadth of cuboid = 1/4 × 8 = 2cm
height of cuboid = 3/2 × side of square
height of cuboid = 3/2 × 2 = 3cm
Lateral surface area of cuboid = 2 × (length + breadth) × height
Lateral surface area of cuboid = 2 × (4 + 2) × 3
Lateral surface area of cuboid = 2 × 6 × 3 = 36cm2
∴ Lateral surface area of cuboid = 36cm2
