Find the volume of wood required to make a closed box of external dimensions 80 cm, 75 cm, and 60 cm, the thickness of walls of the box being 2 cm throughout.

A closed box measures 66 cm, 36 cm and 21 cm from outside. If its walls are made of metal-sheet, 0.5 cm thick; find :
(i) the capacity of the box ;
(ii) the volume of metal-sheet and
(iii) weight of the box, if 1 cm³ of metal weighs 3.6 gm.

Find the area of metal-sheet required to make an open tank of length = 10 m, breadth = 7.5 m and depth = 3.8 m.

A tank 30 m long, 24 m wide, and 4.5 m deep is to be made. It is open from the top. Find the cost of iron-sheet required, at the rate of ₹ 65 per m², to make the tank.

The internal length, breadth, and height of a closed box are 1 m, 80 cm, and 25 cm. respectively. If its sides are made of 2.5 cm thick wood; find :
(i) the capacity of the box
(ii) the volume of wood used to make the box.

The capacity of a rectangular tank is 5.2 m³ and the area of its base is 2.6 x 104 cm²; find its height (depth).
