A metallic sheet is of rectangular shape with dimensions 48 m x 36 m. From each of its corners, a square is cut off so as to make an open box. If the length of the square is 8 m, the volume of the box (in m3) is:
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
Clearly, l = (48 - 16)m = 32 m,
b = (36 -16)m = 20 m,
h = 8 m.
∴ Volume of the box
= (32 x 20 x 8) m3
= 5120 m3
b = (36 -16)m = 20 m,
h = 8 m.
∴ Volume of the box
= (32 x 20 x 8) m3
= 5120 m3

After cutting squares of length 8m from each corner,
new length = (48 - 2×8)m = 32m
new breadth = (36 - 2×8)m = 20m
Now, when we convert it into a box, then :
it's length = 32m
breadth = 20m and height = 8m
So, volume = l × b × h = 32 × 20 × 8 = 5120
