Question 1.

Find the volume, lateral surface area and the total surface area of the cuboid whose dimensions are:

(i) length = 22 cm, breadth = 12 cm and height = 7.5 cm

(ii) length = 15 m, breadth = 6 m and height = 9 dm

(iii) length = 24 m, breadth = 25 cm and height = 6 m

(iv) length = 48 cm, breadth = 6 dm and height = 1 m


Answer:

(i) We know that,

Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


= (22 × 12 × 7.5)


= 1980 cm3


We also know that,


Total Surface Area of cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + hl)


= 2 (22 × 12) + (22 × 7.5) + (12 × 7.5)


= 2 (264 + 165 + 90)


= 1038 cm2


Now,


Lateral surface area of cuboid = [2 (l + b) × h]


= 2 (22 + 12) × 7.5


= 510 cm2


(ii) We know that,


Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


= (15 × 6 × 0.9)


= 81 m3


We also know that,


Total Surface Area of cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + hl)


= 2 (15 × 6) + (15 × 0.9) + (6 × 0.9)


= 2 (90 + 13.5 + 5.4)


= 217.8 m2


Now,


Lateral surface area of cuboid = [2 (l + b) × h]


= 2 (15 + 6) × 0.9


= 37.8 m2


(iii) We know that,


Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


= (24 × 0.25 × 6)


= 36 m3


We also know that,


Total Surface Area of cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + hl)


= 2 (24 × 0.25) + (24 × 6) + (0.25 × 6)


= 2 (6 + 144 + 1.5)


= 303 m2


Now,


Lateral surface area of cuboid = [2 (l + b) × h]


= 2 (24 + 0.25) × 6


= 291 m2


(iv) We know that,


Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


= (0.48 × 0.6 × 1)


= 0.288 m3


We also know that,


Total Surface Area of cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + hl)


= 2 (0.48 × 0.6) + (0.48 × 1) + (0.6 × 1)


= 2 (0.288 + 0.48 + 0.6)


= 2.736 m2


Now,


Lateral surface area of cuboid = [2 (l + b) × h]


= 2 (0.48 + 0.6) × 1


= 2.16 m2

= 350 packets



Question 8.

How many planks of size 2 m x 25 cm x 8 cm can be prepared from a wooden block 5 m long, 70 cm broad and 32 cm thick, assuming that there is no wastage?


Answer:

We know that,

Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


Therefore,


Total volume of the block = (500 × 70 × 32)


= 1120000 cm3


Total volume of each plank = 200 × 25 × 8


= 40000 cm3


Hence,


Total number of planks that can be made =


=


= 28 planks



Question 9.

Therefore,


Volume of the cistern = 11.2 × 6 × 5.8


= 389.76 m3


= 389.76 × 1000


= 389760 litres


Now,


Area of iron sheet that is required to make the cistern = Total surface area of the cistern


We also know that,


Total Surface Area of cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + hl)


= 2 (11.2 × 6 + 11.2 × 5.8 + 6 × 5.8)


= 2 (67.2 + 64.96 + 34.8)


= 333.92 cm2

Question 20.

Find the volume of wood used to make a closed box of outer dimensions 60 cm x 45 cm x 32 cm, the thickness of wood being 2.5 cm all around.


Answer:

Given that,

External length = 60 cm


External width = 45 cm


External height = 32 cm


We know that,


Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


Therefore,


External volume of the box = 60 × 45 × 32


= 86400 cm3


It is also given that,


Thickness of the wood = 2.5 cm


Therefore,


Internal length = 60 – (2.5 × 2) = 55 cm


Internal width = 45 – (2.5 × 2) = 40 cm


Internal height = 32 – (2.5 × 2) = 27 cm


As we know that,


Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


Thereore,


Internal volume of the box = 55 × 40 × 27


= 59400 cm3


Hence,


Volume of wood = External volume – Internal volume


= 86400 – 59400


= 27000 cm3



Question 21.

Find the volume of iron required to make an open box whose external dimensions are 36 cm x 25 cm x 16.5 cm, the box being 1.5 cm thick throughout. If 1 cm3 of iron weighs 8.5 grams, find the weight of the empty box in kilograms.


Answer:

Given that,

External length = 36 cm


External width = 25 cm


External height = 16.5 cm


We know that,


Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


Therefore,


External volume of the box = 36 × 25 × 16.5


= 14850 cm3


It is also given that,


Thickness of iron = 1.5 cm


Therefore,


Internal length = 36 – (1.5 × 2) = 33 cm


Internal width = 25 – (1.5 × 2) = 22 cm


Internal height = 16.5 – 1.5 = 15 cm (As the box is open)


As we know that,


Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


Therefore,


Internal volume of the box = 33 × 22 × 15


= 10890 cm3


Hence,


Volume of iron = External volume – Internal volume


= 14850 – 10890


= 3960 cm3


Also given that,


1 cm3 of iron = 8.5 grams


Therefore,


Total weight of the box = 3960 × 8.5


= 33660 grams


= 33.66 kilograms



Question 22.

A box with a lid is made of wood which is 3 cm thick. Its external length, breadth and height are 56 cm, 39 cm and 30 cm respectively. Find the capacity of the box. Also find the volume of wood used to make the box.


Answer:

Given that,

External length = 56 cm


External width = 39 cm


External height = 30 cm


We know that,


Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


Therefore,


External volume of the box = 56 × 39 × 30


= 65520 cm3


It is also given that,


Thickness of the wood = 3 cm


Therefore,


Internal length = 56 – (3 × 2) = 50 cm


Internal width = 39 – (3 × 2) = 33 cm


Internal height = 30 – (3 × 2) = 24 cm


As we know that,


Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


Therefore,


Capacity of box = Internal volume of the box = 55 × 40 × 27


= 39600 cm3


Hence,


Volume of wood = External volume – Internal volume


= 65520 – 39600

Question 23.

The external dimensions of a closed wooden box are 62 cm, 30 cm and 18 cm. If the box is made of 2-cm-thick wood, find the capacity of the box.


Answer:

Given that,

External length = 62 cm


External width = 30 cm


External height = 18 cm


We know that,


Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


Therefore,


External volume of the box = 62 × 30 × 18


= 33480 cm3


It is also given that,


Thickness of the wood = 2 cm


Therefore,


Internal length = 62 – (2 × 2) = 58 cm


Internal width = 30 – (2 × 2) = 26 cm


Internal height = 18 – (2 × 2) = 14 cm


As we know that,

Therefore,


External volume of the box = 80 × 65 × 45


= 234000 cm3


It is also given that,


Thickness of the wood = 2.5 cm


Therefore,


Internal length = 80 – (2.5 × 2) = 75 cm


Internal width = 65 – (2.5 × 2) = 60 cm


Internal height = 45 – (2.5 × 2) = 40 cm


As we know that,


Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


Therefore,


Capacity of box = Internal volume of the box = 75 × 60 × 40


= 180000 cm3


Hence,


Volume of wood = External volume – Internal volume


= 234000 – 180000
