1.	There are two cuboidal boxes as shown in the given figure. Which box requires the less amount of material to make?
Answer» Volume of a cuboid V₁ = lbh = 60 × 40 × 50 V₁ = 1,20,000 cubic units. Volume of a cube V₂ = (a)³ = (50)³ = 50 × 50 × 50 V₂ = 1,25,000 cubic units. ∴ The cuboidal box requires less amount of material. ∴ V₁ < V₂

There are two cuboidal boxes as shown in the given figure. Which box requires the less amount of material to make?

Answer»

Volume of a cuboid V₁ = lbh

= 60 × 40 × 50

V₁ = 1,20,000 cubic units.

Volume of a cube V₂ = (a)³

= (50)³ = 50 × 50 × 50

V₂ = 1,25,000 cubic units.

∴ The cuboidal box requires less amount of material.

∴ V₁ < V₂
