Question

A matchbox measures 4cm*1.5cm what will be the volume of a packet containing 12 such boxes

Answer 1

Answer:

To find the volume of a cuboid, the 3 dimensions (length, breadth and height) must be given.

Here, only 2 are given.

Hence, the question is incomplete.

Answer 2

Given:

Length of matchbox = 4cm

Breadth of matchbox = 2.5cm

Height of matchbox = 1.5cm

Number of matchbox = 12

Formule of volume

Volume of the cuboid = $(l × b × h)$

Volume of a packet =$(l × b × h)^3$

$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\: = (4 × 2.5 ×1.5)$

Matchboxes = 12

=$12 × 15cm^3$

= $180 cm^3$
