4 cubes each of 6 cm2 total surface area and another cube of 24 cm2 total surface area are placed together in such a way to form a rectangular parallelepiped so formed is
given that
4 cubes, each total surface area =
another cube is total surface area =
find: total surface area of a formed rectangular parallelepiped
solution:
the total surface area of the cube is where is the side of a cube.
we can calculate that side of 4 cubes is 1 cm and the side of another cube is 2 cm
Therefore the total surface area of a rectangular parallelepiped is
length =2cm, width =2 cm, and height = 3cm
