Three cuboids, 3cm long, 2cm wide and 1cm high, are used to form a large cuboid with the smallest surface area. What is the surface area of this cuboid in square centimeter?
(3 × 2 + 3 × 3 + 2 × 3) × 2, = 21 × 2, = 42 (square centimeter); a: the surface area of this cuboid is 42 square centimeter
Two cuboids, 4cm long, 3cm wide and 1cm high, are used to form a large cuboid. What is the maximum and minimum surface area of the large cuboid?
The largest area is to reduce the two smallest surfaces = (4 × 3 + 3 × 1 + 4 × 1) × 4-3 × 1 × 2 = 70 square centimeters
The smallest area is to reduce the two largest surfaces = (4 × 3 + 3 × 1 + 4 × 1) × 4-4 × 3 × 2 = 52 square centimeters
How many CM & sup2 are the surface area of a cuboid or a cube made of eight cuboids with 1cm edges
The surface area is (4 * 1 + 4 * 2 + 1 * 2) * 2 = 28 square centimeters
Or (8 * 1 + 8 * 1 + 1 * 1) * 2 = 34 square centimeters
Cube: the surface area is (2 * 2 + 2 * 2 + 2 * 2) * 2 = 24 square centimeters
