Answer

(i) Since, base is a square.

Length = Breadth = x cm (let).

By formula,

Lateral surface area = 2(l + b) × h

⇒ 224 = 2(x + x) × 7

⇒ 224 = 2(2x) × 7

⇒ 28x = 224

⇒ x = 22428\dfrac{224}{28} = 8 cm.

Hence, the side of square = 8 cm.

(ii) Volume of cuboid = l × b × h

= 8 × 8 × 7

= 448 cm3.

Hence, volume of cuboid = 448 cm3.
