Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 3 Given: Number of cubes = 42 Side of cube = 1 cm Perimeter of base of cuboid = 18 cm Concept used: The cubes that are at the 4 corners contribute 2 cm to the perimeter, and the rest cubes contribute 1 cm to the perimeter Formula used: Height of the cuboid = (Total number of cubes/Number of cubes in the base) × Side of the cube Calculations: Number of cubes in the base of the cuboid ⇒ 18 - 4 ⇒ 14 Height of cuboid = (42/14) × 1 ⇒ 3 cm ∴ The height of the cuboid is 3 cm |
