Answer:
the answer is 1:3
Step-by-step explanation:
area of the cuboid formed =2(lb + bh+ hl)
=2(a²+a²+a²)
=6a²
sum of area of cubes=6a²+6a²+6a²
=18a²
then their ratio is 1:3

Given:-
- Three equal cubes are placed adjacently in a row .
To find:-
- Find the ratio of total surface area of the new cuboid to that of the sum of the surface area of three cubes.
Solutions:-
Let,
a = side of each cube.
s1 = surface area of each cube.
So, s1 = 6a²
Sum of surface area of the three cubes.
3s1 = 3 × 6a²
= 18a²
The length of the newly formed cuboids
l = 3a
it's breadth and height will be the same of each cube.
b = a
h = a
Total surface area of the new cuboids.
S2 = 2(lb + bh + hl)
= 2(3a × a + a × a + a × 3a)
= 2(7a²)
= 14a²
Required Ratio,
= S2/3s1
= 14a²/18a²
= 7/9
Hence, the total area of the new cuboid to that of the sum of the surface area of the three cubes is 7:9.
