A cube of a metal of 6 cm edge is melted and cast into a cuboid whose base is 9 cm × 8 cm. Find the
height of the cuboid.
It is given that
Edge of melted cube = 6 cm
Volume of melted cube = 6 cm × 6 cm × 6 cm = =216 \mathrm{cm}^{3}
Dimensions of the cuboid are
Length = 9 cm
Breadth = 8 cm
h cm is the height
We know that
Volume of cuboid = l × b × h
Substituting the values
= 9 × 8 × h
=72 \mathrm{h} \mathrm{cm}^{3}
Here
The volume of cuboid = Volume of the melted metal cube
Substituting the values
72h = 216
h = 216/72 = 3 cm
Therefore, the height of the cuboid is 3 cm.
