A square piece of tin of side 18 cm is used to make an open box by cutting a square of side 4 cm from each corner and folding up the flaps to form a box. What will be the volume of the box ? |
$200\, cm^3$ $400\, cm^3$ $300\, cm^3$ $900\, cm^3$ |
$400\, cm^3$ |
Length of cuboid formed = 18 - 2×4 = 10 Breadth of cuboid formed = 18 - 2×4 = 10 Height of cuboid formed = 4 Volume of cuboid = l × b × h = 10 × 10 × 4 = 400 The correct answer is option (2) : $400\, cm^3$ |
