Question

The volume of a cube is 343 cm3. Its surface area would be:

  1. 394 cm2
  2. 284 cm2
  3. 294 cm2
  4. 384 cm2

hintHint:

The total number of cubic units that the cube totally occupies is the definition of a cube's volume. A cube is a solid three-dimensional object with six square faces.
Mathematically it can be written as:
V o l u m e space o f space c u b e equals s i d e cross times s i d e cross times s i d e
V o l u m e space o f space c u b e equals left parenthesis s i d e right parenthesis cubed
The total area occupied by the cube's six faces is referred to as its surface area. If we compute the areas of the two bases and the four lateral sides, we may determine the total surface area of a cube.

The correct answers are: 294 cm2, 384 cm2


    We have given the volume of a cube as 343 space c m cubed
. First lets find the dimensions of the cube. We know the formula of Volume of cube, that is:

    V o l u m e space o f space c u b e equals s i d e cross times s i d e cross times s i d e
V o l u m e space o f space c u b e equals left parenthesis s i d e right parenthesis cubed

    Let x be the side of the cube, putting volume in the formula, we get:
    343 space c m cubed equals x cubed
    Taking cubic roots on both sides, we get:
    cube root of 343 space c m cubed end root equals cube root of x cubed end root
cube root of 7 cross times 7 cross times 7 space c m cubed end root equals x to the power of blank
7 equals x to the power of blank
x space equals space 7 space c m
    So the side of cube is 7 cm.
    Now, the surface area of cube is 6 cross times left parenthesis s i d e right parenthesis squared, so putting the value of x in the formula, we get:
    T o t a l space S u r f a c e space A r e a space o f space C u b e equals 6 cross times left parenthesis s i d e right parenthesis squared
T o t a l space S u r f a c e space A r e a space o f space C u b e equals 6 cross times left parenthesis 7 right parenthesis squared
T o t a l space S u r f a c e space A r e a space o f space C u b e equals 6 cross times 49
T o t a l space S u r f a c e space A r e a space o f space C u b e equals 294 space c m squared
    So the total surface area of the cube is  294 space c m squared
.

    So, we have given the volume of cube as 343 space c m cubed
. So we found out the dimension of cube first and substituted the value of dimension in the formula of total surface area of cube and we found out the total surface area of cube is 294 space c m squared
.

    Four cubes each of side 5 cm are joined end to end. The volume of the resulting cuboid is:

     

    Here we have given the dimension of cube as 5 cm. After joining the cubes we formed cuboid which has the volume of 500 space c m cubed.
    An alternate method can be, can find the volume of cubes individually and add the volumes of 4 cubes which can result in the total volume of cuboids.

    Peter had some books in his library. He tried packing them in bags in various ways. While packing 85 books in each bag, 9 bags were not filled completely. Also, while packing 58 books in each bag, 13 bags were not enough to pack all the books. But in the end he was able to pack the books in M bags each having M books. How many books did Peter have?

    Here in this question, we have given that while packing 85 books in each bag, 9 bags were not filled completely. Another condition is given as while packing 58 books in each bag, 13 bags were not enough to pack all the books. It is also provided that he was able to pack the books in M bags each having M books. So via the square root concept, we found out that there are 784 books in total.
