Question

A box, cuboid in shape, measures 250 cm by 88 cm by h cm. 120 such metal bars fit exactly in the box. Find h.

Answer 1

We have,

A box, cuboid, measures 250 cm by 88 cm by h cm and volume 4840 cm³. 120 such metal bars fit exactly in the box.

We know that,

Volume of a cuboid = (Length) × (Breadth) × (Height)

Now, according to the question,

Volume of the cuboid = 120 × (Volume of bar)

250 × 88 × h = 120 × 4840

`h = (120 xx 4840)/(250 xx 88)`

h = 26.4 cm
