The breadth of a room is twice its height, one half of its length and the volume of the room is 512 cu.
Question:
The breadth of a room is twice its height, one half of its length and the volume of the room is 512 cu. dm. Find its dimensions.
Solution:
Consider l, b and h are the length, breadth and height of the room.
So, b = 2h and b = (1/2)l
⇒ l/2 = 2h
⇒ l = 4h
⇒ l = 4h, b = 2h
Now, Volume $=512 \mathrm{dm}^{3}$
⇒ 4h ∗ 2h ∗ h = 512
$\Rightarrow h^{3}=64$
⇒ h = 4
So, Length of the room (l) = 4h = 4 * 4 = 16 dm
Breadth of the room (b) = 2h = 2 * 4 = 8 dm
And Height of the room (h) = 4 dm.
