A metallic sheet is of rectangular shape with dimensions 48 m x 36 m. From each of its corners, a square is cut off so as to make an open box. If the length of the square is 8 m, the volume of the box (in m3) is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, l = (48 - 16)m = 32 m,
b = (36 -16)m = 20 m,
h = 8 m.
Volume of the box = (32 x 20 x 8) m3 = 5120 m3.

It's is so easy..we have given length 48 and breadth 36 of a box.
Now a square of 8 m is cut from 4 corners of the above box means 4 small boxes at 4 corners of the box are formed. Now we'll find the volume of the remaining box. Now,
New length of the box = 48-(8+8) = 32m,
New breath of the box = 36-(8+8) = 20m,
New height = 8m.
So volume = l*b*h = 32*20*8 = 5120 cubic meter.

The height will be 8m because the square of 8m is given and it is square so length will be nothing but height.
Imagine a square of 8m it has only two parameters.
Length and breadth, when that square is placed in rectangle then length will be height.
