We know that the Brick and wall are in the shape of a Cuboid.
∴ Volume of a Brick and wall is given by: l × b × h (here l,b,h are the length , breadth, height of the wall and brick)
Let V1 be the volume of the Wall.
∴ V1 = l × b × h = 800 × 600 × 22.5 (∵ 8 m = 800cm and 6 m = 600cm)
⇒ V1 = 10800000 cm3
Let V2 be the volume of a Brick.
∴ V2 = l × b × h = 25 × 11.25 × 6

Try yourself:The sum of length, breadth and height of a cuboid is 19 cm and its diagonal is 5 √ 5 cm. Its surface area is
Explanation
Given: Sum of length, breadth and height of a cuboid is 19 cm.
Length of diagonal is 5 √ 5 cm.
Let l, b, h be the length , breadth, height of the cuboid respectively.
∴ l + b + h = 19cm – 1
Length of a diagonal in a cuboid is given by : √(l2 + b2 + h2)
∴ √(l2 + b2 + h2) = 5√5 cm ⇒ (l2 + b2 + h2) = (5√5)2 = 125 cm2 – 2
Surface area of Cuboid is: 2(lb + bh + hl)
On squaring eq – 1 on both sides
We get
(l + b + h)2 = 192
⇒ l2 + b2 + h2 + 2(lb + bh + hl) = 361 cm2
⇒ 125+ 2(lb + bh + hl) = 361 ( from eq – 2)
⇒ 2(lb + bh + hl) = 361 – 125 = 236 cm2
∴ 2(lb + bh + hl) = 236 cm2
That is, Surface area of the given Cuboid is 236cm2.

Try yourself:If each edge of a cube is increased by 50%, the percentage increase in the surface area is
Explanation
Given: Edge of a cube is increased by 50%
Let ‘a’ be the Edge of the cube
Area of the cube is : 6l2 (where ‘l’ is the edge of a cube)
Let A1 be the initial surface area of the cube.
∴ A1 = 6a2
Now,
50% of the edge is: a × 50/100 = a/2
∴ Edge = a + a/2 after increasing edge by 50%
That is edge of the cube after increasing it by 50% is 3a/2
Let A2 be the surface area of the cube after increasing the edge by 50%
∴ A2= 6 × (3a/2)2 = 9/4 × 6a2
Here increase in area = A2 –A1
⇒ increase in area = 9/4 × 6a2 – 6a2 = 5/4 × 6a2
Now, increase in percentage is:
Increase in % = × 100 = 125%
∴ If each edge of a cube is increased by 50%, then the percentage increase in the surface area is 125%.

Question for RS Aggarwal Solutions: Volume and Surface Area of Solids- 5
Try yourself:The ratio between the volumes of two spheres is 8:27. What is the ratio between the surface areas?
Explanation
Given: Volumes of the spheres are in the ratio 8:27.
Volume of a sphere is given by: 4/3πr3 (here ‘r’ is the radius of the sphere).
Surface are of a sphere is given by: 4πr2 (here ‘r’ is the radius of the sphere).
Let r1, r2 be the radii of first sphere and second sphere respectively.

⇒ (r1)3: (r2)3 = 8 : 27
⇒ r1: r2 = ∛8 : ∛27
⇒ (r1): (r2) = 2: 3
Now , here
4π(r1)2: 4π(r2)2 = (r1)2 : (r1)2
⇒ (r1)2 : (r1)2 = (2)2 : (3)2 = 4:9
