ConceptVolume of a Cuboid

#### Question

A box with lid is made of 2 cm thick wood. Its external length, breadth and height are 25 cm, 18 cm and 15 cm respectively. How much cubic cm of a liquid can be placed in it? Also, find the volume of the wood used in it.

#### Solution

Given external dimensions of cuboid are

l=25cm, b=18cm,h=15cm.

∴External volume =lxxbxxh

=25xx18xx15cm^2

=6750cm^2

Internal dimension of cuboid.

l=25-2xx"thickness"=25-4=21cm.

h=15-4=11cm.

internal volume = l x b x h

=21xx14xx11cm^3

=3234cm^3

∴Volume of liquid that can be placed =3234cm^3

Now, volume of wood = external volume – Internal volume

=6750-3324

=3516 cm^3

Is there an error in this question or solution?
