Given:

The volume of a cuboid is twice that of a cube.

Height = 16 cm

Breadth = 8 cm

Length = 8 cm

Formula Used:

The volume of the cuboid =  Length × Breadth × Height

Volume of cube= (edge)3

Calculation:

The volume of the cuboid = 8 × 8 × 16 

= 1024

The volume of a cuboid = 2 × volume of a cube.

The volume of a cuboid = 2 × (edge)3

(edge)3 = 1024/2 = 512 m

edge = 8 m

The total surface area of the cube = 6 × 64

= 384 m 2

The total surface area of the cube is 384 m 2.
