The three adjacent faces of a cuboid have areas that represent the products of different pairs of dimensions.
For a cuboid with length l, width w, and height h:
l×w=96
w×h=48
l×h=72
Multiplying all three equations:
(l×w)×(w×h)×(l×h)=96×48×72
l2×w2×h2=96×48×72
(l×w×h)2=96×48×72
Calculating the right side:
96×48=4608
4608×72=331776
Therefore:
(l×w×h)2=331776
Taking the square root of both sides:
l×w×h=331776
l×w×h=576
Since volume =l×w×h, the volume of the box is 576 cm³.
