A cuboid has total surface area of `372\ c m^2` and its lateral surface area is `180\ c m^2,` find the area of its base.

Explanation

Here given, Total surface area of a cuboid = `372 cm^2`

Lateral surface area of a cuboid = `180 cm^2`

Now, area of base= T.S.A-L.S.A

area of base and roof =`372-180`=`192 cm^2`

`therefore` area of base = `192/2`=`96 cm^2`

Hence, area of base is `96 cm^2`.
