Question

A metallic sheet is of rectangular shape with dimensions 48 m x 36 m. From each of its corners, a square is cut off so as to make an open box. If the length of the square is 8 m, the volume of the box (in m3) is:

Answer 1

48-8×2=32
36-8×2= 20
and length of box becomes 32 m
breadth of box becomes 20 m
height of box becomes 8 m
so volume of box = i×b×h=32×20×8=5120 m³

Answer 2

Answer:

The volume of the box is 5120 m³.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A metallic sheet is of rectangular shape with dimensions 48 m × 36 m. From each of its corners, a square is cut off so as to make an open box. If the length of the square is 8 m.

To find : The volume of the box (in m³) ?

Solution :

According to question,

The length cut of is 8+8=16 m

The length of the box is $48-16=32\ m$

The breadth of the box is $36-16=20\ m$

The height of the box is $8\ m$

The volume of the box is given by,

$V=L\times B\times H$

$V=32\times 20\times 8$

$V=5120\ m^3$

Therefore, The volume of the box is 5120 m³.
