Two cubes each of volume $27\ m^{3}$ are joined end to end. Find the surface area of the resulting cuboid.
Given: Two cubes of volume $27\ m^{3}$ are joined together.
To do: To find the surface area of the resulting cuboid.
Solution:
$\because$ Volume of a cube $=27\ m^{3}$
Let $a$ is a side of the cube.
Then, the volume of the cube$=a^{3}$
$\Rightarrow a^{3}=27$
$\Rightarrow a=\sqrt[3]{27}$
$\Rightarrow a=3\ m$
When these two cubes are joined together, width and height remains the same of the resultant cuboid but its length doubles the original.
$\therefore$ Length of the resultant cuboid $l=a+a=2a=2\times3=6\ m$
Width of the resulting cuboid $b=3\ m$
Height of the resulting cuboid $h=3\ m$
$\therefore$ Surface Area of the resulting cuboid $A=2( lb+bh+hl)$
$\Rightarrow A=2( 6\times3+3\times3+3\times6)$
$\Rightarrow A=2( 18+9+18)$
$\Rightarrow A=2( 45)$
$\Rightarrow A=90\ cm^{2}$.
Thus, The surface area of the resulting cuboid $=90\ cm^{2}$.
