Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given a cuboid having dimension,
length, l = 7 cm
breadth, b = 4 cm
height, h = 3 cm
Now, We know that,
surface area of cuboid = 2(lb +bh +hl)
So, the surface area ,
S1 = 2( 7×4 + 4×3 + 3×7 )
=> S1 = 2( 28 + 12 + 21)
=> S1 = 2 × 51
Now, after doubling the dimension,
we have , new dimensions,
l' = 7×2 = 14 cm
b' = 4×2 = 8 cm
h' = 3×2 = 6 cm
So,the new surface area,
S2 = 2(14×8 + 8×6 + 14×6 )
=> S2 = 2 × 244
Clearly, we can see that
2S1 ≠ S2
Hence, it is wrong assumption.
