A hall is 15 m long and 12 m broad. If the sum of the areas of the floor and the ceiling is equal to the sum of the areas of four walls, the volume of the hall is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
2(15 + 12) x h = 2(15 x 12)
 h = |
180 | m = | 20 | m. |
| 27 | 3 |
 Volume = |
 |
15 x 12 x | 20 |  m3 |
= 1200 m3. |

According to the question,
Sum of areas of floor and the ceilings= 4 walls area sum
Floor area = ceiling area.
Floor area= 12 * 15 = 180.
Therefore 360 = 4 areas of walls.
Floor-length = wall length.
So height of the wall = (360/4)/15= 90/15 = 6m.
the volume of the hall is one type of cuboid.
Therefore volume of cuboid = length * breadth * height.
Volume = 15 * 12 * 6 = 1080 meter cube.
Sum of areas of floor and the ceilings= 4 walls area sum
Floor area = ceiling area.
Floor area= 12 * 15 = 180.
Therefore 360 = 4 areas of walls.
Floor-length = wall length.
So height of the wall = (360/4)/15= 90/15 = 6m.
the volume of the hall is one type of cuboid.
Therefore volume of cuboid = length * breadth * height.
Volume = 15 * 12 * 6 = 1080 meter cube.

Roof + ceiling area = 4 side walls.
W.k.t area of rectangle l x b.
(12 x 15) + (12 x 15)= 12h + 15h + 12h + 15h.
2(12 x 15) = 2(12h + 15h).
2(12 x 15) = 2h(12+15).
2(12 x 15)
----------------- = h
2 x 27
Volume = LBH.
L=15 b=12 and h is 54.
Then, Volume= 1200.
W.k.t area of rectangle l x b.
(12 x 15) + (12 x 15)= 12h + 15h + 12h + 15h.
2(12 x 15) = 2(12h + 15h).
2(12 x 15) = 2h(12+15).
2(12 x 15)
----------------- = h
2 x 27
Volume = LBH.
L=15 b=12 and h is 54.
Then, Volume= 1200.

2*(l*h)+ 2*(b*h)= 2*(l*b).
4 walls area = floor area + ceiling area.
4 walls area = floor area + ceiling area.

No the answer is 600
How can we get hight is 27
Is 3.33

The solution is wrong as it is said it is equal to the area of the 4 walls so, 4 should be multiplied.

Floor Area = 15 x 12 = 180 m.
Ceiling Area = 15 x 12 = 180 m.
Sum of Floor & Ceiling Area = 180 + 180 m = 360 m
- now,in the question "f the sum of the areas of the floor and the ceiling is equal to the sum of the areas of four walls." it means ,
360+360 = 720.
Please, help me to get it.

2(15*12)=2(lh+bh)
=2h(l+b)
15*12 = h(15+12)
h=(15*12)/(15+12)=180/27
=2h(l+b)
15*12 = h(15+12)
h=(15*12)/(15+12)=180/27

Here given that
Area of four walls = (area of the base )+(area of ceiling)
Area of base is (l*b)
Area of ceiling is (l*b)
so (area of the base )+(area of ceiling)=2(l*b)
As per Surface area of a cuboid we have 2(l+b)*h
Area of four walls=2(l+b)*h
Area of four walls = (area of the base )+(area of ceiling)
Area of base is (l*b)
Area of ceiling is (l*b)
so (area of the base )+(area of ceiling)=2(l*b)
As per Surface area of a cuboid we have 2(l+b)*h
Area of four walls=2(l+b)*h
