Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLet's denote the breadth (which is the same as the length of the square base) as 'a' cm. Since the length of the box is 15 cm greater than the breadth, we'll denote the length as 'a + 15' cm. The height of the box is also 'a' cm because the base is a square.
The total length of the edges of the box is given as 1.8 m, which equals 180 cm (since 1 m = 100 cm). The box has 12 edges in total: 4 from the base, 4 from the top, and 4 vertical.
Given that all edges sum up to 180 cm, we can write this as:
4a + 4(a + 15) + 4a = 180
12a + 60 = 180
12a = 120
a = 10 cm
So, the dimensions of the box are:
breadth = a = 10 cm,
length = a + 15 = 25 cm, and
height = a = 10 cm.
The volume of a rectangular box is given by the formula:
Volume = length * breadth * height
= 25 cm * 10 cm * 10 cm
= 2500 cm3
So, the answer is 2500 cm3.
