Q1 of 75 Page 228

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

Matchbox is a cuboid having its length (l), breadth (b), height (h) as 4 cm, 2.5 cm and 1.5 cm respectively

Volume of 1 match box = l × b × h


= (4 × 2.5 × 1.5) cm3


= 15 cm3


Volume of 12 such matchboxes = (15 × 12) cm3


= 180 cm3


Therefore, the volume of 12 match boxes is 180 cm3
