(i) total surface area
(ii) lateral surface area

Sum

Solution

Length of a cuboid = 8 m

The breadth of a cuboid = 12 m
Height of a cuboid = 3.5 m

(i) Total surface area = 2(lb + bh + hl)
= 2(8 x 12 + 12 x 3.5 + 3.5 x 8)
= 2(96 + 42 + 28)
= 2 x 166 = 332 m2

(ii) Lateral surface area = 2h(l + b)
= 2 x 3.5(8 + 12) = 7 x 20= 140 m2
