The dimensions of the cuboid are in the ratio 5 : 4 : 3 and its total surface area is 423 cm square . find its volume

The dimensions of the cube are 5x by 4x by 3x
SA = 2( 5x*4x) + 2(4x*3x) + 2(3x * 5x) = 40x2 + 24x2 + 30x2 = 94x= 423 sq cm
x2 = 423/94 = 9/2
x = 3*2-1/2

Sides are thus 15*2-1/2 , 12*2-1/2 , 9*2-1/2

Volume = 5x *4x * 3x  =60x3 = 60* (3*2-1/2)= 60*27*2-3/2 = 60*27/2*2-1/2 810*2-1/2 = 450*21/2 cm3
