The side of a cube is 15 cm. What is the base area of a cuboid whose volume is 175 cm3 less than that of the cube and whose height is 32 cm?

200 cm2 100 cm2 160 cm2 325 cm2

100 cm2

Volume of a cube = side3 = 153 = 3375 cm3 Volume of a cuboid = Volume of a cube – 175 Area of base × h = 3375 – 175 Area of base = \(\frac{3200}{32}\) = 100 cm2
