Question

A wooden box measures 20 cm 12 cm 10 cm. The thickness of the wood is 1 cm. The volume of the wood required to make the box is:

Answer 1

Volume of the Box:

l*b*h

Or, 20*12*10= 2400cm^3

Thickness of a cuboid= 1cm

Thus every dimension gets subtracted by 1 cm.

Or,

L= 20-1=19

B=12-1=11

H=10-1=9

Thus volume of the box: 19*12*9=

1881 cm^3
