A fruitseller in wholesale market is selling boxes of cherries which are the size 15 cm by 12cm by 8cm. the boxes are filled with paper pulp to a height of 3cm.how much space of the box has been used for cherries​

Answer 1

${\bold{\underline{\boxed{Answer = 900\:cm^{3}}}}}$

$\bold{Given}$ :

• Size of the box =15 × 12 × 8 cm.

• Height of the paper pulp = 3 cm.

$\bold{To\:Find}$ How much space of the box has been used for cherries.

$\bold{<u>Solution</u><u> </u>:}$ We know that Volume of Cubiod = length × breadth × height

$\implies$ Therefore, Volume of box = $15\times12\times8\:cm^{3}$......(1)

$\implies$ Volume of the paper pulp =$15\times12\times3\:cm^{3}$ .......(2)

$\implies$ from (1) and (2) we get

$\implies$ $\therefore$ Volume of the box which has been used for cherries = volume of the total box ― volume of the paper pulp

$\implies$ from (1) and (2) we get

$\implies$ 15 × 12 × 8 ― 15 × 12 × 3

$\longrightarrow$ 1,440 ― 540 = $<strong>9</strong><strong>0</strong><strong>0</strong>\:<strong>cm</strong>^{<strong>3</strong>}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Volume of the box which has been used for cherries = volume of the total box ― volume of the paper pulp
