A cuboid has front side and top faces of areas 10 cm^2, 7.5 cm^2 and 3cm^2, respectively.
What is the volume of the solid in cm^3.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let x, y, z be three dimensions of the cuboid.


From the condition, we have

    xy = 10   cm^2,    (1)

    yz =  7.5 cm^2,    (2)

    xz =  3   cm^2.    (3)


Multiply equations (1), (2) and (3).  You will get

    x^2*y^2*z^2 = 10*7.5*3 = 225 cm^6.


Thus we have  

     = 225  cm^6.


It gives the volume of the cuboid, after taking square root of both sides

    xyz =  = 15 cm^3.


ANSWER.  The volume of the cuboid is 15 cm^3.

Solved.
