Hope it helps you.

The above answer is wrong.

Answer 2

Answer:

44,850 cm³ and 2,760 cm³ is the capacity of the box and volume of the wood respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

• In context to the given question, We have to find the capacity of the box and volume of the wood used.

⇒ external dimensions of the box are 65 cm 34 cm and 25 cm.

And as the thickness is 2cm internal dimension would be,

length = 65 - ( 2x2 ) = 61 cm

breadth = 34 - ( 2x2 ) = 30 cm

height = 25 - 2 = 23 cm

⇒ Internal dimensions of the box are 61cm 30 cm and 23 cm

Volume of Cuboid = l x b x h

Therefore,

Volume of external cuboid = 65 x 30 x 23

= 44,850 cm³

Volume of internal cuboid = 61 x 30 x 23

= 42,090 cm³

⇒  Volume of wood used = 44,850 - 42,090

⇒ Volume of wood used = 2,760 cm³

∴ 44,850 cm³ and 2,760 cm³ is the capacity of the box and volume of the wood respectively.
