Question

The volume of a rectangular box is 6480cm3

, and the lengths of the

sides are in the ratio 2:3:5. The length, in centimeter, of the shortest

side of the box is

(a) 6 (b) 8 (c) 10 (d) 12​

Answer 1

Answer:

the shortest side is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

let the side be x

now ,

as the volume of the cuboid is l*b*h

therefore

2x * 3x * 5x = 6480

30 * x³ = 6480

x³ = 216

x = 6

thus sides are

12 , 18 , 30

hence the shortest side is 12
