(b) Box B
(c) Both have the same volume
(d) Can't compare​

Answer 1

Given:

Dimension of box $A=10cm\times6cm\times 4cm$

Dimension of box $B=6cm\times6cm\times7cm$

To find:

which box has greater volume

Solution:

According to the given question,

Dimensions of box $A=10cm\times6cm\times4cm$

∵ Volume of box $A=10\times6\times4=240cm^3$

Dimensions of box $B=6cm\times6cm\times7cm$

∵ Volume of box $B=6\times6\times7=252cm^3$

Now, $252cm^3 > 240cm^3$

i.e., Volume of $boxB >$ Volume of $box A.$

Hence, $boxB$ has greater volume.
