उत्तर
The edges of the three cubes are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5.
So, let the edges be 3x cm, 4x cm, 5x cm.
The diagonal of new cube is `12sqrt(3) `cm
We need to find the edges of three cubes
Here, volume of the resulting cube,
`V = (3x)^3 + (4x)^3 + (5x)^3`
`=27x^3 + 64x^3 + 125x^3`
`= 216x^3`
Let,
l → Edge of the resulting cube
So, diagonal of the cube`= sqrt(3l)`, so
`12sqrt(3) = sqrt(3l)`
Hence,
l = 12 cm
Now;
`V=1^3`
`216x^3 = 12^3`
`(6x)^3 = 12^3`
x = 2
The edges of the three cubes are,
3x = 3× 2
= 6cm
4x = 4× 2
= 8 cm
5x = 5 × 2
= 10 cm
The edges of the three cubes are 6 cm , 8 cm and 10 cm .

Parveen wanted to make a temporary shelter for her car, by making a box-like structure with tarpaulin that covers all the four sides and the top of the car (with the front face as a flap which can be rolled up). Assuming that the stitching margins are very small, and therefore negligible, how much tarpaulin would be required to make the shelter of height 2.5 m, with base dimensions 4 m × 3 m?
