Question

Sussi made a matchbox which measures 3 cm $\times$ 2 cm $\times$ 5 cm. What will be the volume of a packet containing 10 such boxes?

• A. 250 cubic cm
• B. 200 cubic cm
• C. 300 cubic cm
• D. 350 cubic cm

Answer 1

The correct option is C 300 cubic cm

To find the volume of the packet, we need to find the volume of the matchbox and then multiply it with the number of matchboxes.

Volume of cuboid
= Length $\times$ Width $\times$ Height

Volume of the matchbox = 3 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 5
= 30 cubic cm

A packet has 10 such boxes.
Volume of the packet = 10 $\times$ volume of 1 matchbox
= 10 $\times$ 30
= 300 cubic cm
