the edges of a cuboid are in the ratio 1:2:3 and its volume is 1296cm.find its length,breadth and height?

Edges of cuboid are in the ratio of 1:2:3.
So, suppose the length, breadth and height of cuboid are x, 2x and 3x respectively.
Then, volume of cuboid = x×2x×3x = 6x3
And the volume of cuboid given is 1296 cm3, so we have;
6x3 = 1296x3 = 12966x3 = 216x3 = 63x = 6
So, length of cuboid = 6 cm
Breadth of cuboid = 2× 6 = 12 cm
And height of cuboid = 3 × 6 = 18 cm

Let the dimensions be x, 2x and 3x.

volume of cuboid = 1296

x * 2x* 3x = 1296

6x3=1296

x3= 1296/6

x3 = 216

x= 6

Now, length of cuboid=x= 6cm, breadth=2x = 12 cm, height= 3x = 18cm

Let the dimensions be x, 2x and 3x.

volume of cuboid = 1296

x * 2x* 3x = 1296

6x3=1296

x3= 1296/6

x3 = 216

x= 6

Now, length of cuboid=x= 6cm, breadth=2x = 12 cm, height= 3x = 18cm
