Question

$\text{A matchbox measures}4cm\times 2.5cm,\text{What is the volume of a packet containig 12 such matchboxes?}$

Answer 1

Matchbox is a cuboid having its length (l), breadth (b), height (h) as 4 cm, 2.5 cm, and 1.5 cm.

Volume of 1 match box = l × b × h

= (4 × 2.5 × 1.5) cm³ = 15 cm³

Volume of 12 such matchboxes = (15 × 12) cm³ = 180 cm³

Therefore, the volume of 12 match boxes is 180 cm^3.
