The areas of three adjacent faces of a cuboid are x, y and z. If the volume is v, prove that y2 = xyz.

Answer»

Let l, b and h be the length, breadth and height of a cuboid. 

Volume of cuboid = v = l x b x h = lbh …(1) 

Since x, y and z represent areas of three adjacent faces of the cuboid, then 

x = lb, y = bh, z = lh 

=> xyz = (lb) x (bh) x (hl) 

=> x × y × z = l2 x b2 x h2

=> xyz = (l x b x h)2 

=> xyz = v2 

Hence v2 = xyz
