Solution

Outer length =80 cm.

Outer width =65 cm.

Outer height =45 cm.

Total volume $= 80 \times 65 \times 45 c m^{3}$

$= 234000 c m^{3}$

Thickness of wood =2.5 cm.

$∴$ Inner length $= 80 - 2 \times 2.5 = 75 c m .$

Inner width $= 65 - 2 \times 2.5 = 60$ cm.

Inner height $= 45 - 2 \times 2.5 = 40$ cm.

(i)\therefore Inner capacity (volume)

$= 75 \times 60 \times 40 c m^{3} 3 = 180000 c m^{3}$

Volume of wood $= 234000 - 180000$

$= 54000 c m^{3}$

$∴$ Weight of wood $= \frac{54000 \times 8}{100} g$

$= 4320 g = 4.320 k g$
