Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box=48 cm* 36 cm* 24 cm=41,472 cubic cm

The box is made of wood 1/2 cm thick So—

l=48–1=47, b=36–1=35, h=24–1=23

The internal volume of the box=47 cm* 35 cm* 23 cm=37,835 cubic cm

The volume of the wood used in the box=41,472 cubic cm- 37,835 cubic cm=3,637 cubic cm

Answer: The volume of wood used in the box is 3,637 cubic cm.
