The length and breadth of a cuboidal store are in the ratio 2 : 1 and its height is 3.5 metres. If the area of its four walls (including doors) is 210 m$$^2$$, then its volume is
Let the length of breadth of the cuboidal store be 2x and x respectively.
Area of its four walls = 2(length $$\times$$ height) + 2(breadth $$\times$$ height)
210 = 2(2x $$\times$$ 3.5) + 2(x $$\times$$ 3.5)
7x + 14x = 210
x = 10
Length of the cuboidal store = 2x = 2 $$\times$$ 10 = 20
Breadth of the cuboidal store = x =10
Volume of store = length $$\times$$ breadth $$\times$$ height = 20 $$\times$$ 10 $$\times$$ 3.5 = 700 m$$^2$$
