Three metal cubes with edges 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm respectively are melted together and formed into a single cube. Find the volume, surface area and diagonal of the new cube.


Given,


Edges of 3 metal cubes = 6cm, 8cm, 10 cm


Volume of these cubes together = 63+83+103 = 216+512+1000 = 1728 cm3


Let volume of new cube formed = V


So, V = 1728


= a3 = 1728 = a =


Surface area of new cube = 6a2 = 6×122 = 864 cm2


Diagonal of new cube =


10
