Question:

The length, breadth, and height of a brick are 10 cm, 4 cm, and 3 cm, respectively. Find the surface area of the brick?

Options:

154 sq cm

156 sq cm

16 sq cm

164 sq cm

Correct Answer:

164 sq cm

Explanation:

If only surface area is mentioned in the question, we assume it to be Total surface area. TSA of brick is 2(lb + bh + hl). 

Length- 10

Breadth- 4

Height- 3

Total surface area = 2(lb + bh + hl)

Total surface area = 2(10x4 + 4x3 + 3x10)

Total surface area  = 2(40 + 12 + 30)

Total surface area  = 2(82)

Total surface area = 164 cm2
