Question 9

The area of a playground is 3650 m2. Find the cost of covering it with gravel 1.2 cm deep, if the gravel costs Rs. 6.40 per cubic metre.

The area of the playground is 3650 m2 and the gravels are 1.2 cm deep. Therefore the total volume to be covered will be:
3650 x 0.012 =43.8 m3.
Since the cost of per cubic meter is Rs. 6.40, therefore the total cost will be:
43.8 x Rs.6.40 = Rs.280.32

Question 16

Four identical cubes are joined end to end to form a cuboid. If the total surface area of the resulting cuboid as 648 m2; find the length of edge of each cube.

Also, find the ratio between the surface area of resulting cuboid and the surface area of a cube.
