A cuboid has TSA 40 sq. m and latral surface 26 sq. m. Find the base area.
This only pertains to math -- not the other subjects.
the base has area (40-26)/2 = 7
divide by 2 since the faces come in pairs.
To find the base area of the cuboid, we need to know its total surface area (TSA) and its lateral surface area (LSA).
Given:
TSA = 40 sq. m
LSA = 26 sq. m
The TSA of a cuboid consists of the sum of the areas of all its six faces. The LSA, on the other hand, only includes the areas of the four lateral faces (excluding the top and bottom faces).
The base area of the cuboid can be calculated by subtracting the LSA from the TSA.
Base area = TSA - LSA
Substituting the given values:
Base area = 40 sq. m - 26 sq. m
Base area = 14 sq. m
Therefore, the base area of the cuboid is 14 square meters.
