Question

squares each of side 6 CM are cut off from the four corners of a sheet of tin measuring 42 CM by 30 cm the remaining portion of the tin seat is made into an open box by folding up the flaps find the capacity of the box formed

Answer 1

The answer is 3240 cm^3

Answer 2

Answer:

The capacity of the box formed is 3240 centimeter cube.        

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Squares each of side 6 cm are cut off from the four corners of a sheet of tin measuring 42 cm by 30 cm the remaining portion of the tin seat is made into an open box by folding up the flaps.

To find : The capacity of the box formed?

Solution :

A square of 6 cm is cut from the four corners of the sheet.

So, The length and breadth will be reduced by $2\times 6=12$

A sheet of tin measuring 42 cm by 30 cm.

Length = 42-12=30 cm

Breadth = 30-12=18 cm

The remaining portion of the tin seat is made into an open box by folding up the flaps.

The height of the box = 6 cm (Which is folded up)

The volume of the box is given by,

$V=L\times B\times H$

$V=30\times 18\times 6$

$V=3240cm^3$

Therefore, The capacity of the box formed is 3240 centimeter cube.
