Let the side length of cube = a units
total surface area of cube, S = 6 a²
now, it is cut into 2 cuboids,
total surface area of one cuboid, s' = (6 a²)/2 + a²
=4 a²
ratio , S/s' = (6 a²)/(4a²)
=3/2
so, S:s' = 3:2
total surface area of cube, S = 6 a²
now, it is cut into 2 cuboids,
total surface area of one cuboid, s' = (6 a²)/2 + a²
=4 a²
ratio , S/s' = (6 a²)/(4a²)
=3/2
so, S:s' = 3:2
