A box with lid is made of 2 cm thick wood. Its external length, breadth and height are 25 cm, 18 cm and 15 cm respectively. How much cubic cm of a liquid can be placed in it? Also, find the volume of the wood used in it.



Answer -

Outer length of the closed wooden box (l) = 25 cm
Breadth (b) = 18 cm
and height (h) = 15 cm
Width of wood = 2 cm
∴ Inner length = 25 – 2×2 = 25- 4 = 21cm
Breadth =18- 2×2 = 18-4 = 14 cm
and height =15- 2×2 = 15- 4=11 cm
Now outer volume = 25 x 18 x 15 cm3 = 6750 cm3
and inner volume = 21 x 14 x 11 cm3 = 3234 cm3
(i) Inner volume = 3234 cm3
(ii) Volume of wood = 6750 – 3234 = 3516 cm3
