Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 486 sq cm Surface area of cube = 6 × a2, where a is side of the cube Volume of cube = a3 Volume of cube with side 1 cm = 13 = 1 cm3 Volume of cube with side 6 cm = 63 = 216 cm³ Volume of cube with side 8 cm = 83 = 512 cm³ Total Volume = 1 + 216 + 512 = 729 cm³ Side of new cube = a cm Volume of new cube = a³ cm³ a³ = 729 ⇒ a = 9 Side of cube = 9 cm Surface Area = 6 × a² = 6 × 9² = 486 cm² ∴ Surface area of the new formed cube 486 cm2 |
