Answer by xcentaur(357) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let length be x cm,breadth be y cm,height be z cm

then volume=x*y*z=7500
then surface area=2(xy*yz*zx)=2600

We only get 2 equations,please check your question for any missing data or assumptions you are required to make,and post again
