Exercise 7.2

Question 1.
Find the TSA and LSA of a cuboid whose length, breadth and height are 10 cm, 12 cm and 14 cm respectively.
Solution:
TSA = 2 (lb + bh + Ih)
= 2 (10 × 12 + 12 × 14 + 10 × 14) = 2 (120 + 168 + 140) = 856 cm2
LSA = 2 (bh + Ih) = 2 (12 × 14 + 10 × 14) = 2 (168 + 140) =2 (308) = 616 cm2

Question 3.
Find the surface area of a cube whose edge is
(i) 27 cm
(ii) 3 cm
(iii) 6 cm
(iv) 2.1 cm
Solution:
(i) TSA = 6a2 = 6 × 272 = 6 × 729 = 4374 cm2
(ii) TSA = 6a2 = 6 × 32 = 54 cm2
(iii) TSA = 6a2 = 6 × 62 = 6 × 36 = 216 cm2
(iv) TSA = 6a2 = 6 × 2.12 = 6 × 4.41 = 26.46 cm2
