Surface area of a cuboid is 22 $$cm^2$$ and the sum of the lengths of all its edges is 24 cm. The length of each diagonal of the cuboid, in cm, is
Let length, breadth and height be $$l,b,h$$ cm respectively.
=> Surface area of cuboid = $$2(lb+bh+hl)=22$$ -----------(i)
Sum of all edges = $$4(l+b+h)=24 \Rightarrow (l+b+h)=6$$
Squaring both sides, => $$(l^2+b^2+h^2)+2(lb+bh+hl)=36$$
Substituting value from equation (i), we get :
=> $$(l^2+b^2+h^2)+22=36$$
=> $$(l^2+b^2+h^2)=36-22 = 14$$
$$\therefore$$ Diagonal of cuboid = $$\sqrt{l^2+b^2+h^2}=\sqrt{14}$$
=> Ans - (D)
