If `V` is the volume of a cuboid of dimensions `a ,\ b ,\ c\ a n d\ S` is its surface area, then prove that `1/V=2/S(1/a+1/b+1/c)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Volume of a cuboid =`lxxbxxh`
Surface area of cuboid=`2(lbxxbhxxhl)`
`therefore` `2/s(1/l+1/b+1/h)`=`2s(bh+lh+lb)/lbh`
`2/s(1/a+1/b+1/c)=2/s(s/2v)`
On calculation
`2/s(1/a+1/b+1/c)=1/v`
`1/v=2/s(1/a+1/b+1/c)` Hence Proved.
