The length of a cold storage is double itsbreadth. Its height is `3m e t r e sdot`The area of its four walls (including doors) is `108m^2dot`Find its volume.

Answer» Let the breadth of the cold storage be x metres
Then, its length = 2x metres and height = 3 metres
Area of the four walls of the cold storage
`= {2 (l + b) xx h)` sq units
`= {2 (2x + x) xx 3} m^(2) = (18x) m^(2)`
But, area of 4 walls `= 108 m^(2)` (given)
`:. 18x = 108 rArr x = (108)/(18) = 6`
So, breadth = 6 m and length = 12 m
Volume of the cold storage `= (l xx b xx h)` cubic units
`= (12 xx 6 xx 3) m^(3) = 216 m^(3)`
