Q.If two cubes with a side length of \(2\sqrt6\) cm are placed side by side, then the length of the diagonal of the resulting cuboid will be—? (a) 10 cm (b) 6 cm (c) 2 cm (d) 12 cm
Answer: D
The length of the resulting cuboid = \(2 \times 2\sqrt6\) cm = \(4\sqrt6\) cm
Width = \(2\sqrt6\) cm and Height = \(2\sqrt6\) cm

\(\therefore \) The diagonal of the cuboid
= \(\sqrt{{(4\sqrt6)}^2 + {(2\sqrt6)}^2 + {(2\sqrt6)}^2}\) cm
= \(\sqrt{96 + 24 + 24}\) cm
= \(\sqrt{144}\) cm = \(12\) cm
So, the length of the diagonal is 12 cm.
