A rectangular sheet of metal is 60 cm by 25 cm. Equal squares of side 5 cm are cut off at the corners and the remainder is folded up to form an open rectangular box. Find the volume of the box.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 3750 cm3
As seen from the figure
When equal squares of sides 5 cm are cut off and the remainder if folded, we obtain a cuboid
Length of the cuboid = 50 cm
Breadth of the cuboid = 15 cm
Height of the cuboid = 5 cm
Hence volume = LBH = 50 × 15 × 5= 3750 cm3
