# Body diagonal

The cuboid has a volume of 32 cm3. Its side surface area is double as one of the square bases. What is the length of the body diagonal?

Correct result:

u =  6 cm

#### Solution:

$V=a^2 \ c=32 \ \\ 4 \cdot \ a \cdot \ c=2 \ a^2 \ \\ 2c=a \ \\ 4c^2 \ c=32 \ \\ c^3=8 \ \\ c=\sqrt[3]{ 8 }=2 \ \\ a=2 \cdot \ c=2 \cdot \ 2=4 \ \\ u=\sqrt{ a^2+a^2+c^2 }=\sqrt{ 4^2+4^2+2^2 }=6 \ \text{cm}$
