The correct Answer is:
To find the breadth of the cuboid, we will use the formula for the volume of a cuboid, which is given by: \[ \text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Breadth} \times \text{Height} \] ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Volume \( V = 7.68 \, m^3 \) - Length \( L = 3.2 \, m \) - Height \( H = 1.0 \, m \) - Let the breadth be \( B \). 2. **Write the formula for the volume of a cuboid:** \[ V = L \times B \times H \] 3. **Substitute the known values into the formula:** \[ 7.68 = 3.2 \times B \times 1.0 \] 4. **Simplify the equation:** \[ 7.68 = 3.2 \times B \] 5. **Solve for breadth \( B \):** \[ B = \frac{7.68}{3.2} \] 6. **Perform the division:** - To simplify \( \frac{7.68}{3.2} \), we can remove the decimal by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 10: \[ B = \frac{76.8}{32} \] 7. **Calculate \( B \):** - Now, divide \( 76.8 \) by \( 32 \): \[ 32 \times 2 = 64 \quad (\text{which is less than } 76.8) \] \[ 32 \times 3 = 96 \quad (\text{which is greater than } 76.8) \] - Therefore, we can try \( 32 \times 2.4 = 76.8 \). - Thus, \( B = 2.4 \, m \). ### Final Answer: The breadth of the cuboid is \( 2.4 \, m \). ---
