Question

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 :

Solution

Internal length of the closed box = 1m = 100 cm

breadth = 80 cm

height = 25 cm

volume = `100 xx 80 xx 25`

= 200000 cm3

External length of the box = `(100 + 2 xx 2.5)`

= 100 + 5 = 105 cm

External breadth = `(80 + 2 xx 2.5)`

= 80 + 5 = 85 cm

External height = `(25 + 2 xx 2.5)`

= (25 + 5) = 30 cm

External volume = `105 xx 85 xx 30` cm3

= 267750 cm3

(i) The capacity of the box = `100 xx 80 xx 25` cm3

= 200000 cm3

= `200000/(100 xx 100 xx 100)` m3

= 0.2 m3

(ii) The volume of wood used to make the box

= External volume - Internal volume

= 267750 - 200000

= 67750 cm3

= `67750/(100 xx 100 xx 100)`m3

= 0.06775 m3
