Twelve men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work.
In 1 hour, the 12 men will finish 1/6 of the work
( 1 job ) / ( 6 hrs ) = ( 1/6 of a job ) / ( 1 hr )
-----------------------------------------
That means there is of the job
left to do.
-------------------
If 12 men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work,
1 man will take 12 times as long, to finish the work, so
( 1 job ) / ( 6*12 = 72 hrs ) = rate of working for 1 man, or

-------------------
After 1 hour, there are a total of men working
20 men will work 20 times as fast as 1 man on the
of a job that remains, so
Let = hours for the 20 men to finish the job

Find the volume of a cube<br> whose surface area is 150<br> ft2?
Brrunno [24]

Given:

  • Surface area of cube = 150 ft²

To Find:

  • Volume of cube

Solution:

As here in Question we are given Surface area of cube is 150 sq. feet. So, firstly we have find the side of edge of cube. Let 'a' be the edge of the cube

We know that,

\: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: Surface  \: area_{(Cube)} = 6a^2  \\  \\

Substituting the required values,

\: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: 150 = 6a^2  \\  \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \:   \frac{150}{6}   =  {a}^{2}  \\  \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: 25 =  {a}^{2}  \\  \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \:  \sqrt{25}  = a \\  \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: { \underline{ \boxed{ \sf{ \pink{5 = a}}}} } \\  \\

  • Edge of the cube is 5 feet

Now,

\: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: Volume = (edge)^3 \\  \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: Volume = (5)^3 \\  \\ \: \: \: \:\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: {\underline{\boxed{\sf{\pink{Volume =125 \: {ft}^{3}}}}}}  \\  \\

Hence,

  • Volume of the cube is 125 cu. feet
