Two identical solid cubes of side 5 cm are joined end to end. Then the total surface area of the resulting cuboid is:
Two identical solid cubes of side 5 cm are joined end to end. Then the total surface area of the resulting cuboid is:
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
- For a cuboid:
- Total Surface Area =
where is length, is width, and is height
- When two cm cubes are joined end to end:
- Length () = cm
- Width () = cm
- Height () = cm
- Substituting in the formula:
=
=
=
= cm²
Therefore, the total surface area of the cuboid is cm².
