Raj makes cuboid of plasticizing of sides 15 cm, 30 cm, 15 cm. How many such cuboids will he need to form a cube?


Given :

Sides of cuboid 15 cm, 30 cm, 15 cm .

To find :

We have to find the number of cuboids required to make a cube.

Solution :

 

Volume of a cuboid of height h, length l and breadth is lbh.

This implies,

Volume of the given cuboid $= 15 cm \times 30 cm \times 15 cm = 225 \times 30 cm^3 = 6750 cm^3$.

The minimum length required to form a cube $=$ LCM of 15,30 and 15 $=$ 30.

Therefore,

Minimum length required to form a cube $= 30 cm$.

Volume of the cube so formed $= (30 cm)^3 = 27000 cm^3$.

Number of such cuboids required $= \frac{27000 cm^3}{6750 cm^3} = 4$.

Number of such cuboids required to make a cube is 4.
