Question

measure the length breadth and height of a matchbox calculate it's surface area and volume if four such boxes are kept one above other on the flat surface calculate its total volume and surface area

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let length of matchbox be x cm

breadth = y cm

height = z cm

volume of a cuboid = length *breadth * height

volume of matchbox = x*y*z

= xyz cm cube

surface area of cuboid = 2(lb+ bh+ Ih)

surface area of matchbox = 2(xy+yz+xz) cm sq.

if four such boxes are kept one above other then

length = x cm

breadth = y cm

height = 4z cm

volume = (x*y*4z) cm cube

total surface area = 2(xy + 4yz + 4xz) cm sq.
