Q8a. External dimensions of a wooden cuboid are 30 cm × 25 cm × 20 cm. If the thickness of the wood
is 2 cm all around, find the volume of the wood contained in the cuboid formed. [ /06]

Solution:

External length of the cuboid = 30 cm

External breadth of the cuboid = 25 cm

External height of the cuboid = 25 cm

Therefore, External volume of the cuboid = (30 × 25 × 20) cm³

= 15000 cm³

Therefore, Internal volume of the cuboid = (26 × 21 × 16) cm³

= 8736 cm³

Therefore, Volume of wood = External Volume - Internal Volume

= 15000 cm³ - 8736 cm³

= 6264 cm³
