Given the area of three faces of the rectangular parallelepiped which has a common vertex. Our task is to find the sum of lengths of all 12 edges of this parallelepiped.
In geometry, a parallelepiped is a three-dimensional figure formed by six parallelograms. By analogy, it relates to a parallelogram just as a cube relates to a square or as a cuboid to a rectangle. A picture of a rectangular parallelepiped is shown below. 

Examples: 

Input: 1 1 1 
Output: 12

Input: 20 10 50
Output: 68

Approach: The area given are s1, s2 and s3 . Let a, b and c be the lengths of the sides that have one common vertex. Where s1 = a * b     s2 = b * c     s3 = c * a     . It’s easy to find the length in terms of faces areas: a = \sqrt{s1s3/s2}     b = \sqrt{s1s2/s3}     c = \sqrt{s2s3/s1}     . The answer will be the summation of all the 4 sides, there are four sides that have lengths equal to a, b and c.
In the first example the given area s1 = 1, s2 = 1 and s3 = 1. So with the above approach, the value of a, b, c will come out to be 1. So the sum of the length of all 12 edges will be 4 * 3 = 12.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:  

C++

// C++ program to illustrate
// the above problem
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// function to find the sum of
// all the edges of parallelepiped
double findEdges(double s1, double s2, double s3)
{
    // to calculate the length of one edge
    double a = sqrt(s1 * s2 / s3);
    double b = sqrt(s3 * s1 / s2);
    double c = sqrt(s3 * s2 / s1);
 
    // sum of all the edges of one side
    double sum = a + b + c;
 
    // net sum will be equal to the
    // summation of edges of all the sides
    return 4 * sum;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    // initialize the area of three
    // faces which has a common vertex
    double s1, s2, s3;
    s1 = 65, s2 = 156, s3 = 60;
 
    cout << findEdges(s1, s2, s3);
 
    return 0;
}

                    

Java

// Java program to illustrate
// the above problem
 
import java.io.*;
 
class GFG {
   
// function to find the sum of
// all the edges of parallelepiped
static double findEdges(double s1, double s2, double s3)
{
    // to calculate the length of one edge
    double a = Math.sqrt(s1 * s2 / s3);
    double b = Math.sqrt(s3 * s1 / s2);
    double c = Math.sqrt(s3 * s2 / s1);
 
    // sum of all the edges of one side
    double sum = a + b + c;
 
    // net sum will be equal to the
    // summation of edges of all the sides
    return 4 * sum;
}
 
       // Driver code
 
    public static void main (String[] args) {
            // initialize the area of three
    // faces which has a common vertex
    double s1, s2, s3;
    s1 = 65; s2 = 156; s3 = 60;
 
    System.out.print(findEdges(s1, s2, s3));
    }
}

Output: 
120

 

Time Complexity: O(logn) because the inbuilt sqrt function is being used
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
