From the 4 corners of a square piece of paper of side 12cm., small squares of side 2cm, are cut off. the edges of this are bent up and joined to form a container of height 2cm. what is the capacity of the container?

• A. $64c{m}^3$
• B. $100c{m}^3$
• C. $128c{m}^3$
• D. $150c{m}^3$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $128c{m}^3$

Given that,

$a=2$ cm.

Dimensions of container are,

Length $=12-2-2=8$ cm

Breadth $=12-2-2=8$ cm

Height $=a=2$ cm

Capacity of the container $=lbh=8\times 8\times 2=128$ $c{m}^3$

Option $C$ correct.
