Question

A solid box is 15 cm by 10 cm by 8 cm. A new solid is formed by removing a cube 3 cm on a side from each corner of this box. What percent of the original volume is removed

Answer 1

Percent of the original volume that is removed is; 18%

How to find the Volume of a box?

Formula for volume of a box is;

V = lbh

where;

l is length

b is breadth

h is height

Thus;

V_original = 15 * 10 * 8

V_original = 1200 cm³

Volume for each cube removed = 3 * 3 * 3 = 27 cm³

Since there are 8 corners on the box, then 8 cubes are removed.

So the total volume removed is; 8 * 27 = 216

Thus;

Percent of the original volume that is removed is;

216/1200 * 100% = 18%
