Question

Which of these occupy more space or has more volume?
(i) A cartoon books with dimensions
$12cm\times 8cm\times 6cm$
(ii) A shoe box with dimensions
$10cm\times 8cm\times 7cm$

• A. The cartoon books
• B. The shoe box
• C. Both occupy the same amount of space
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is A The cartoon books

When we consider any object, more the dimension or bigger the size of the object, more is the space occupied by that object.

Volume of the cartoon books
$=12cm\times 8cm\times 6cm=576c{m}^3$
Volume of the shoe box
$=10cm\times 8cm\times 7cm=560c{m}^3$

Hence the volume of the cartoon books will be more than the shoe box.
