A metal sheet of thickness 2cm was used to make a container of external dimensions 30cm×15cm×25cm, which is open from the top. Find the volume of metal used.
4672 cm3
External volume of tank = 30cm×15cm×25cm = 11250cm3
Internal measurement = 26cm×11cm×23cm
Hence inner volume = 26cm×11cm×23 = 6578cm3
Hence, the volume of metal used = 11250cm3 − 6578cm3 = 4672cm3
