13. A square based cuboid has a width of 4cm. If the volume of the cuboid is 400 cubic centimeters, what is the surface area of the cuboid?

216 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

V = lwh Equation 1

Where V = volume of the cubiod, l = length of the base, width of the base, h = heigth of the cubiod.

From the question,

Since the base of the cubiod is squared,

Therefore,

w = l = 4 cm, V = 400 cm³

Substitute these values into equation 1

400 = 4×4×h

h = 400/(4×4)

h = 25 cm

A = lw+lh+wh Equation 1

Where A = surface area of the cuboid.

Given: l = 4 cm. w = 4 cm, h = 25 cm

Substitute these values into equation 1

A = (4×4)+(4×25)+(4×25)

A = 16+100+100

A = 216 cm²
