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 × 14\(^{3}\) cm\(^{3}\)

                                     = 5488 cm\(^{3}\)

The total surface area of the cuboid = 2(28 × 14 + 14 × 14 + 14 × 28) cm\(^{2}\)                                             

                                                    = 2(28 + 14 + 28) × 14 cm\(^{2}\)

                                                    = 2(2 × 14 + 1 × 14 + 2 × 14) × 14 cm\(^{2}\)

                                                    = 2(2 + 1 + 2) × 14 × 14 cm\(^{2}\)

                                                    = 2(5) × 14 × 14 cm\(^{2}\)

                                                    = 10× 14 × 14 cm\(^{2}\)

                                                    = 1960 cm\(^{2}\)


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 cm\(^{3}\)          

                                     = 54000 cm(^{3}\)  

It is half-filled with water      

So, the volume of the empty portion of the vessel = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 54000 cm\(^{3}\)                                                                       

                                                                        = 27000 cm\(^{3}\) 

The volume of the iron cube should be 27000 cm\(^{3}\) 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,

x\(^{3}\) = 27000 cm\(^{3}\)                                            

⟹ x\(^{3}\) = (30)\(^{3}\) cm\(^{3}\)

⟹ 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.
