Three cubes of sides 6 cm, 8 cm and 1 cm are melted to form a new cube. The surface area of the new cube is:‐ 1. 486 sq cm2. 496 sq cm3. 586 sq cm4. 658 sq cm

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
