hope this will help you please mark me brainlist and pls follow me

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, three cube are placed adjacent in a row to form a cuboid.

Let the side of cube be a, three cube placed in row then breadth of cuboid be a, length of cuboid is 3a, height of cuboid is a.

Sum of total surface area of three cubes =6a

+6a

+6a

=18a

Total surface area of resulting cuboid =2(lb+bh+lh)

=2(3a×a+a×a+3a×a)

=2(7a

)

=14a

Ratio of total surface area of cuboid to that of cube =

18a
