Solution

Joint the three identical cubes we get a new cuboid

Length of the cuboid (l) = (4 + 4 + 4) cm

l = 12 cm

Breadth of the cuboid (b) = 4 cm

Height of the cuboid (h) = 4 cm

Total surface area of the new cuboid = 2(lb + bh + lh) sq.units

= 2(12 × 4 + 4 × 4 + 4 × 12)

= 2(48 + 16 + 48) cm

= 2(112) cm2

= 224 cm2

Lateral surface area of the new cuboid = 2(l + b)h sq.units

= 2(12 + 4)4 cm2

= 2 × 16 × 4 cm2

= 128 cm2

∴ T.S.A of the new cuboid = 224 cm2

L.S.A of the new cuboid = 128 cm2
