The sum of the length breadth and depth of cuboid is 19cm and it's diagonal is 5√5 cm it's surface area is_________?
Correct answer: B. 236 Sq.cm
- A. 125 Sq.cm
- B. 236 Sq.cm
- C. 361 Sq.cm
- D. None of these
Explanation
For dimensions l, b and d, (l + b + d)2 = l2 + b2 + d2 + 2(lb + bd + dl). Here, 19 cm squared is 361 cm2 and the diagonal squared is (5√5 cm)2 = 125 cm2, so surface area = 2(lb + bd + dl) = 361 cm2 − 125 cm2 = 236 cm2. The likely wrong choice is 125 cm2, which is the square of the diagonal rather than the cuboid's surface area.

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.
