Given:

Sum of all edges of a cuboid is 76 cm.

Diagonal of a cuboid is 5√5 cm.

Formula Used:

(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)

Total Surface Area of a Cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)

Diagonal of a cuboid = √(l2 + b2 + h2)

Calculation:

Diagonal of a cuboid is 5√5 cm.

D =√(l2 + b2 + h2)

(5√5)2 = l2 + b2 + h2

l2 + b2 + h2 = 125 ----(I)

Sum of all edges of a cuboid is 76 cm.

4(l +b + h) = 76 cm

(l + b + h) = 19 cm

Squaring on both sides,

(l + b + h)2 = 192

l2 + b2 + h2 + 2(lb + bh + hl) = 361

2(lb + bh + hl) = 361 – ( l2 + b2 + h2)

2(lb + bh + hl) = 361 – 125

2(lb + bh + hl) = 236

∴ Total surface area of cuboid is 236 cm2.
