Question

A cylindrical bar of soap 5 cm thick has a volume of 200cm³. A uniform slice of 3 cm thick is taken away. What volume of the soap remains?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of cuboid shape soap bar = length × breadth × thickness.

Given, length of soap bar = 10cm

breadth of soap bar = 5cm

Let the thickness of soap bar = x cm

now, 150 = 10 × 5 × x

=> 150 = 50x

=> x = 3 cm

hence thickness of soap bar = 3 cm
