Solution
Let exterior height is h cm.
Then interior dimensions are 78 – 3 = 75, 19 – 3 = 16 and h – 3 ...(Subtract two thicknesses of wood)
Interior volume = 75 × 16 × (h – 3) which must = 15 cubic decimeters
= 15000 cm3 ...(1 dm = 10 cm, 1 cu dm = 103 cm3)
15000 cm3 = 75 × 16 × (h – 3)
⇒ h – 3 = `15000/(75 xx 16)` = 12.5 cm
⇒ h = 15.5 cm
