Question

If the areas of three adjacent faces of a cuboidal box are 120 sq.cm , 72 sq.cm and 60 sq.cm respectively. Then find the volume of the box ?

hintHint:

  • A cuboid is a solid 3 dimensional figure with six-faces, 8 vertices and 12 edges. Its faces are rectangles.
  • Volume is the capacity of a certain object to carry or hold another objects within i.e. the amount of space that the object holds.
  • Volume of a cuboid = length cross times breadth cross times height
  • Area of a rectangle = length cross times breadth

The correct answer is: Volume of the given cubical box is 720 cm3.


    Step-by-step solution:
    Let the edges of the given cuboidal box i.e. cuboid be "a" cm, "b" cm and "c" cm respectively.
    Now, We are given that area of adjacent faces of the given cuboid are 120 cm2, 72 cm2 and 60 cm2.
    We know that faces of a cuboid are rectangle and area of a rectangle = length cross times breadth
    ∴ Areas of the adjacent faces of the given cuboid will be-
    edge1 cross timesedge2, edge2cross times edge3 and edge1 cross times edge3
    i.e. ab, bc and ac
    Now, If we multiply the areas of the 3 adjacent faces, we get-
    ab cross timesbc cross times ac = 120 cross times72 cross times 60
    a squared b squared c squared = 5,18,400
    ∴ (abc)2 = 5,18,400
    ∴ abc = square root of 518400 ................................................... (Taking square root both the sides)
    ∴ abc = 720 ..................................................... (Equation i)
    Now,
    Volume of the given cubical box = length cross timesbreadth cross timesheight
    ∴ Volume of the given cubical box = a cross times bcross times c
    ∴ Volume of the given cubical box = 720 c m cubed ..................................................... (From Equation i)

    ∴ Volume of the given cubical box is 720 c m cubed.
