1. **State the problem:** We have a cuboid with length $L$ cm, width $W$ cm, and height $H$ cm.
The net of the cuboid shows dimensions: total horizontal length $37.8$ cm and vertical height $20.1$ cm.
The ratio of width to length is given as $W : L = 1 : 2$.
We need to find $L$, $W$, and $H$.
2. **Understand the net:** The net consists of rectangles arranged linearly.
The total horizontal length of the net is $37.8$ cm, which is the sum of the lengths of three rectangles: $L + L + W = 2L + W$.
The total vertical height is $20.1$ cm, which corresponds to $H + W$.
3. **Use the ratio:** Given $W : L = 1 : 2$, we can write $W = \frac{1}{2}L$.
4. **Set up equations:**
From horizontal length:
$$2L + W = 37.8$$
Substitute $W = \frac{1}{2}L$:
$$2L + \frac{1}{2}L = 37.8$$
5. **Simplify and solve for $L$:**
$$2L + \frac{1}{2}L = \frac{4}{2}L + \frac{1}{2}L = \frac{5}{2}L = 37.8$$
Multiply both sides by $\frac{2}{5}$:
$$L = 37.8 \times \frac{2}{5}$$
$$L = \cancel{37.8} \times \frac{2}{\cancel{5}} = 15.12$$
6. **Find $W$ using the ratio:**
$$W = \frac{1}{2}L = \frac{1}{2} \times 15.12 = 7.56$$
7. **Find $H$ using vertical height:**
$$H + W = 20.1$$
Substitute $W = 7.56$:
$$H + 7.56 = 20.1$$
$$H = 20.1 - 7.56 = 12.54$$
**Final answers:**
$$L = 15.12 \text{ cm}$$
$$W = 7.56 \text{ cm}$$
$$H = 12.54 \text{ cm}$$
