    • The dimensions of a cuboid are in the ration 4 : 5 : 6 and its surface area is 5328 m²
    • Find (i) its length, breadth and height, (ii) its volume and (iii) the length of a diagonal.

    [tex] \huge \bf{ \underline{Given}}[/tex]

    • Surface Area of cuboid is 5328m²
    • Dimensions are in the ratio of 4:5:6

    To find:

    • It’s length, breadth and height
    • The length of diagonal

    Solution:-

    Let the dimensions be 4x, 5x, 6x

    We know that

    • Surface area of cuboid =2(lb+bh+hl)

    [tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \bf \: \implies \: 2(4x \times 5x + 5x \times 6x + 6x \times 4x) = 5328 {m}^{2} [/tex]

    [tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \sf{ \red{\implies \: 2(20 {x}^{2} + 30 {x}^{2} + 24 {x}^{2} ) = 5328}}[/tex]

    [tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \sf \implies \: 148 {x}^{2} = 5328[/tex]

    [tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \implies \sf \: x² = 36[/tex]

    [tex] \: \: \: \: \: \implies \sf \: x = \sqrt{36} = 6[/tex]

    Therefore the required value for x is 6

    Now the dimensions are:-

    • Length of cuboid = 6×4=24m
    • Breadth of cuboid =6×5=30m
    • Height of cuboid =6×6=36m

    Diagonal of cuboid:

    Formula used⬇️

    [tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \longrightarrow\sqrt{( {l}^{2} + {b}^{2} + {h}^{2}) } [/tex]

    [tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \sqrt{ ({24}^{2} + {30}^{2} + {36}^{2}) } [/tex]

    [tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \sqrt{576 + 900 + 1296} [/tex]

    [tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \approx52.172[/tex]
