Volume and Surface Area of Cube and Cuboid

Here we will learn how to solve the problems on Volume and Surface Area of Cube and Cuboid:

1. Two cubes of edge 14 cm each are joined end to end to form a cuboid. Find the volume and the total surface area of the cuboid.

Solution:

Volume and Surface Area of Cube and Cuboid

The volume of the cuboid = 2 × volume of one cube

                                     = 2 × 143 cm3

                                     = 5488 cm3

The total surface area of the cuboid = 2(28 × 14 + 14 × 14 + 14 × 28) cm2                                             

                                                    = 2(28 + 14 + 28) × 14 cm2

                                                    = 2(2 × 14 + 1 × 14 + 2 × 14) × 14 cm2

                                                    = 2(2 + 1 + 2) × 14 × 14 cm2

                                                    = 2(5) × 14 × 14 cm2

                                                    = 10× 14 × 14 cm2

                                                    = 1960 cm2


2. The dimensions of the base of a rectangular vessel are 60 cm × 45 cm. Its height is 20 cm. The vessel is half-filled with water. What should be the size of a solid iron cube which when dropped into the vessel will raise the water level up to the brim?

Solution:

Application Problems on Volume and Surface Area of Cube and Cuboid

The volume of the vessel = 60 × 45 × 20 cm3          

                                     = 54000 cm(^{3}\)  

It is half-filled with water      

So, the volume of the empty portion of the vessel = 12 × 54000 cm3                                                                       

                                                                        = 27000 cm3 

The volume of the iron cube should be 27000 cm3 so that it displaces this amount of water and the water level comes up to the brim.

If the edge of the cube is x then,

x3 = 27000 cm3                                            

⟹ x3 = (30)3 cm3

⟹ x = 30 cm

Therefore, the edge of the iron cube = 30 cm

The size of the cube should be 30 cm × 30 cm × 30 cm.
