Solution
Thickness of the closed box
= 5mm
= 0.5cm
External Dimensions are:
length = 21cm
breadth = 13cm
height = 11cm
Internal dimensions = External dimensions - 2(thickness)
∴ Internal Dimensions are:
length = 20cm
breadth = 12cm
height = 10cm
Volume ofthe wood used in making the box
= Volume of External cuboid - Volume of internal cuboid
= (21 x 13 x 11) - (20 x 12 x 10)
= 3003 - 2400
= 603cm3
Hence, the volume of wood used in making the box is 603cm3.
