# Two rectangular boxes

Two rectangular boxes with dimensions of 5 cm, 8 cm, 10 cm, and 5 cm, 12 cm, 1 dm are to be replaced by a single cube box of the same cubic volume. Calculate its surface.

Result

S =  600 cm2

#### Solution:

$V_{1}=5 \cdot \ 8 \cdot \ 10=400 \ \text{cm}^3 \ \\ V_{2}=5 \cdot \ 12 \cdot \ 10=600 \ \text{cm}^3 \ \\ \ \\ V=V_{1}+V_{2}=400+600=1000 \ \text{cm}^3 \ \\ \ \\ V=a^3 \ \\ \ \\ a=\sqrt[3]{ V}=\sqrt[3]{ 1000 }=10 \ \text{cm} \ \\ \ \\ S=6 \cdot \ a^2=6 \cdot \ 10^2=600 \ \text{cm}^2$

Our examples were largely sent or created by pupils and students themselves. Therefore, we would be pleased if you could send us any errors you found, spelling mistakes, or rephasing the example. Thank you!
