A rectangular sheet of paper, 10cm long and 8cm wide has squares of side 2cm cut from each of its corner. The sheet is then folded to form a tray of depth 2cm. What is the volume of this tray?
A 32cm3
B 48cm3
C 49cm3
D 54cm3
Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
Length of tray = 10 - (2 × 2)
= 10 - 4
= 6 cm.
Breadth of tray = 8 - (2 × 2)
= 4 cm.
Depth of tray = 2 cm.
∴ Volume of tray = 6 × 4 × 2
= 48 cm3
