Question
The length of a cinema hall is 20 m and its width is 16 m. The sum of the areas of its floor and flat roof is equal to the surface area of its four walls. Find the volume and height of the hall.
Solution
l = 20 m b = 16 m According to the question, 2 lb = 2(l + b)h
∴ lb = (I + b)h
∴ 20 x 16 = (20 + 16)h
