Answer

The length (l) of cuboid = 8 x 5 cm = 40 cm

The breadth (b) of cuboid = 5 cm

The height (h) of cuboid = 5 cm

As we know total surface area of the cuboid = 2(l x b + b x h + h x l)

= 2(40 x 5 + 5 x 5 + 5 x 40) cm2

= 2(200 + 25 + 200) cm2

= 2 x 425 cm2

= 850 cm2

As we know, volume of the cuboid = l x b x h

= 40 x 5 x 5 cm3

= 1,000 cm3

Hence, the total surface area of the cuboid is 850 cm2 and the volume is 1,000 cm3.
