Question

A rectangular cardboard sheet has length 16 cm and breadth 10 cm. Squares of each side 2 cm are cut from the corners of the sheet and the sides are folded to make a rectangular container. Find the volume of the container formed.

• A. 150 cm
• B. 144 $c{m}^3$
• C. 155 $c{m}^2$
• D. 144 $m^3$

Answer 1

The correct option is B 144 $c{m}^3$

Length of sheet = 16 cm
Breadth of sheet = 10 cm
Side of each square = 2 cm
$\therefore$ Inner length = $16-2\times 2=16-4=12cm$
Inner length =$10-2\times 2=10-4=6cm$
By folding the sheet, the length of the container = 12 cm, breadth = 6 cm, height = 2 cm
$\therefore$ Volume of the container = $(l\times b\times h)$
