The sum of the length, breadth and depth of a cuboid is 19 cm and its diagonal is $$5\sqrt{5}$$ cm. Its surface area is
Let length, breadth and height of cuboid is 'l', 'b' and 'h' respectively.
According to the question:
l + b + h = 19 ........ (1)
Diagonal of cuboid = $$\sqrt{l^{2} + b^{2} + h^{2}} = 5\sqrt{5}$$
$$l^{2} + b^{2} + h^{2} = 125$$ ...... (2)
We know that:
$$(l + b + h)^{2} = l^{2} + b^{2} + h^{2} + 2(lb + bh + hl)$$
From eqaution (1) and (2):
$$19^{2} = 125 + 2(lb + bh + hl)$$
$$2(lb + bh + hl) = 361 - 125 = 236$$
Surface area of cuboid = $$2(lb + bh + hl) = 236 cm^{2}$$
