Question:
Find the height of a cuboid of volume 100 cm3, whose length and breadth are 5 cm and 4 cm respectively.
Solution:
Let us suppose that the height of the cuboid is $h \mathrm{~cm}$.
Given :
Volume of the cuboid $=100 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$
Length $=5 \mathrm{~cm}$
Breadth $=4 \mathrm{~cm}$
Now, volume of the cuboid $=$ length $\times$ breadth $\times$ height
$\Rightarrow 100=5 \times 4 \times h$
$\Rightarrow 100=20 \times h$
$\therefore h=\frac{100}{20}=5 \mathrm{~cm}$
