2 cubes each of volume 64 cm³ are joined end to end. Find the surface area of the resulting cuboid.
Solution:
Given:⇒Volume of cubes = 64cm³⇒(Edge)³=64⇒Edge=4cm If cubes are joined end to end, the dimensions of the resulting cuboid will be 4cm, 4cm, 8cm. Surface area of cuboids=2(lb+bh+lh)=2(4×4+4×8+4×8)=2(16+32+32)=2(16+64)=2(80)=160cm²
