The length, breadth and height of a room are in the ratio 3:2:1. What will be the total area of the four walls of the room?

To calculate the total area of the four walls of the room, we start by letting the dimensions be represented as follows:

Let the height of the room be x. Then, the length and breadth can be defined as:

  • Length = 3x
  • Breadth = 2x

The formula to find the total area of the four walls of a rectangular room is given by:

Total Surface Area of Four Walls = 2 × Height × (Length + Breadth)

Substituting the values we have:

Total Surface Area = 2 × x × (3x + 2x)

This simplifies to:

Total Surface Area = 2 × x × 5x = 10x²

Therefore, the total area of the four walls of the room is 10x², where x is the height of the room.
