Question

The outer measure of a cardboard box is 4m×3.6m×1m. If the inner measure of an empty box is 3.8m×3.4m×0.8m,then find the volume of cardboard used in box.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Outer measure of box

= (4 × 3.6 × 1) m

So outer volume = 14.4 m³

Inner measure of box

= (3.6 × 3.4 × 0.8) m

So inner volume = 9.792 m³

Now,

Volume of cardboard used =

outer volume - inner volume

(14.4 - 9.792) m³

= 4.608 m³

Answer = 4.608 m³
