Question:

A cuboid of length 36 m, breadth 18 m and height 9 m is melted and recast into a cube. Find the length of the diagonal of the cube.

Options:

$18\sqrt{3}m$

$15\sqrt{3}m$

$12\sqrt{3}m$

$17\sqrt{3}m$

Correct Answer:

$18\sqrt{3}m$

Explanation:

Volume of cuboid = Length × Height × Breadth

Volume of cube = Side3

Volume of cuboid = volume of the cube

So, 36 × 18 × 9 = Side3

= 5832 = Side3

= a3 = 183

= a = 18

So, the diagonal of the cube = 18\(\sqrt {3}\)
