If the areas of three adjacent faces of a cuboid are $8\ cm^2, 18\ cm^2$ and $25\ cm^2$. Find the volume of the cuboid.
Given:
The areas of three adjacent faces of a cuboid are $8\ cm^2, 18\ cm^2$ and $25\ cm^2$.
To do:
We have to find the volume of the cuboid.
Solution:
Let $a, b$ and $c$ be the three adjacent faces of the cuboid.
This implies,
$a = 8\ cm^2, b = 18\ cm^2, c = 25\ cm^2$
Let $l, b$ and $h$ be the dimensions of the cuboid.
Therefore,
$a = lb = 8\ cm^2$
$b = bh = 18\ cm^2$
$c = lh = 25\ cm^2$
Volume $= lbh$
$=\sqrt{l b \times b h \times l h}$
$=\sqrt{a b c}$
$=\sqrt{8 \times 18 \times 25}$
$=\sqrt{3600}$
$=60 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$
The volume of the cuboid is $60\ cm^3$.
