Question

If two cubes each of side 6 cm are joined face to face, then find the volume of the resulting cuboid.

Answer 1

We have,

Side of each cube (a) = 6 cm

We need to find the volume of resulting cuboid

Hence, dimensions of the resulting cuboid are,

Length (l) = 2a

= 2 × 6

= 12 cm

Breadth (b) = a

= 6 cm

Height (h) = a

= 6 cm

Hence, volume of the resulting cuboid,

`V = lbh`

  `=12 xx 6xx 6`

  `=432   cm^3`

Hence, volume of the resulting cuboid is 432 cm³.
