Answer :

Note: The height of the room must be 3 m instead of 3 cm because 3 cm is too small and it cannot be the height of a room.

Given:

Perimeter of the floor of a room = 18 metre

Height of the room = 3 metre

To find:

The area of 4 walls of the room.

Solution:

We know that, the area of 4 walls of the room is the curved surface area of the cuboid room.

The curved surface area of the cuboid is

[tex]C.S.A.=2h(l+b)[/tex]

Where, h is height, l is length and b is breadth.

Perimeter of the rectangular base is 2(l+b). So,

[tex]C.S.A.=\text{Perimeter of the base} \times h[/tex]

Putting the given values, we get

[tex]C.S.A.=18\times 3[/tex]

[tex]C.S.A.=54[/tex]

Therefore, the area of 4 walls of the room is 54 sq. metres.
