Question and options
From each of the four corners of a rectangular sheet of dimensions 25 cm 20 cm, a square of side 2 cm is cut off and an open box is made. The volume of the box is:
- 828 cm
- 672 cm
- 500 cm
- 1000 cm
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - 672 cm\(^3\)
Box dimensions: (25-4) x (20-4) x 2 = 21 x 16 x 2 = 672 cm^3. Cutting the squares shortens each side by twice 2 cm, and the folded flaps give a height of 2 cm.
