Question

A rectangular card-board sheet has length $32cm$ and breadth $26cm$ . Squares each of side $3cm$, are cut from the corner of the sheet and the sides are folder to make a rectangular container. Find the capacity of the container formed.

• A. $1566cu.cm$
• B. $1500cu.cm$
• C. $1530cu.cm$
• D. $1560cu.cm$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $1560cu.cm$

When we cut squares of $3$ cm each from all the corners of the sheet and fold it to form a container, the measurements of the container formed will be:
$l=26$ cm, $b=20$ cm,and $h=3$ cm
To get the capacity of the formed container, we have to find the volume of a cuboid.
$V=$ $lbh{cm}^3$
$=$ $26$ cm $\times 20$ cm $\times 3$cm
$=$ 1560 ${cm}^3$
Ans: The capacity of the container $=1560$ cu.cm.
