The volume of a cuboid is 3600 cubic cm. The areas of two adjacent faces are 225 square cm and 144 square cm. What is the area of the other adjacent face?

  1. A. 400 square cm
  2. B. 360 square cm
  3. C. 320 square cm
  4. D. 300 square cm

Correct Answer: A. 400 square cm

Explanation

Let dimensions be l, b, h. Volume V = lbh = 3600. Face areas are x=lb=225, y=bh=144, z=hl. Since xyz = (lbh)^2 = V^2, we have 225 \times 144 \times z = 3600^2. Thus, z = \frac{12960000}{32400} = 400 square cm.
