The dimensions of an open box are 52, 40 and 29 cms. Its thickness is 2 cms. If 1 cm3 of metal used in the box weighs 0.5 gms, the weight of the box is________?
Correct answer: D. 6.832 kg
- A. 8.56 kg
- B. 7.76 kg
- C. 7.756 kg
- D. 6.832 kg
Explanation
Taking 52 cm x 40 cm x 29 cm as the outside dimensions of an open box, the inside dimensions are 48 cm x 36 cm x 27 cm because the 2 cm thickness is removed from both walls and the base. Metal volume is (52 x 40 x 29 - 48 x 36 x 27) cm3 = 13,664 cm3, and its weight is 13,664 cm3 x 0.5 g/cm3 = 6832 g = 6.832 kg. Students may choose 7.756 kg, option c, by treating the box as closed or subtracting the thickness incorrectly.

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.
