Three cubes whose edges measure 3 cm, 4cm and 5cm respectively are melted to form a new cube. The surface area of the new cube is
Correct Answer: |
B) 216 \( \Large cm^{2} \) |
|
|
Description for Correct answer:
If a is side of the new cube, then
\( \Large a^{3}= \left(3^{3}+4^{3}+5^{3}\right) \)
\( \Large = 27 + 64 + 125 \)
= \( \Large 216 = 6^{3} \)
Therefore, a = 6 cm
Surface area of the new cube
=\( \Large 6a^{2} = 6 \times 6^{2} \)
=\( \Large 216\ cm^{2} \)
