(1) 150 cm²
(2) 400 cm²
(3) 900 cm²
(4) 1350 cm²
Hint:
4a² = 600 cm²

(3) 900 cm²

Question 6.
The total surface area of a cuboid with dimension 10 cm × 6 cm × 5 cm is
(1) 280 cm²
(2) 300 cm²
(3) 360 cm²
(4) 600 cm²
Hint:
TSA = 2 (lb + bh + hl)
= 2 (10 × 6 + 6 × 5 + 5 × 10) = 2 (60 + 30 + 50) = 2 (140) = 280 cm²
Solution:
(1) 280 cm²

(4) 16 : 36
Hint:
a : b = 2 : 3
4a² : 4b² = 4 × 2² : 4 : 3²
⇒ 16 : 36
⇒ 4 : 9
Solution:
(2) 4 : 9
