Question
The volume of a cube is 1331 cm³. If the cost of painting
the cube is Rs. 7 per cm², then find the cost of painting five faces of the cube.Solution
Let the length of the edge of the cube be ‘x’ cm.
Volume of cube = x³
ATQ;
1331 = x³
Or, x = 11
Area of five faces of the cube = 5x² = 5 × 11 × 11 = 605 cm²
Required cost = 605 × 7 = Rs. 4,235
