Question

A matchbox measures $4cm\times 2.5cm\times 1.5cm$. What will be the volume of a packet containing $12$ such boxes?

Answer 1

We have to find out the volume of a packet containing $12$ such boxes.

Given:

Dimensions of the matchbox

$l=4cm,b=2.5cm,h=1.5cm$

We know that:

The volume of a cuboid $=l\times b\times h$

So, the volume of the matchbox $=4cm\times 2.5cm\times 1.5cm=15c{m}^3$

Now, the Volume of $12$ such matchboxes will be $12\times 15c{m}^3=180c{m}^3$

Therefore, the volume of a packet containing $12$ such matchboxes will be $180c{m}^3$.
