A trough, in the form of an open rectangular box, is 1.85 m long, 45 cm wide and 28 cm deep externally. If the trough is made of wood 2.5 cm thick, find, in cubic centimetres, the volume of wood used.
\n" ); document.write( "EXTERNAL DIMENSIONS
\n" ); document.write( "L=1.85 M =185 CM.
\n" ); document.write( "B=45 CM
\n" ); document.write( "H=28 CM
\n" ); document.write( "OPEN AT TOP.
\n" ); document.write( "EXTERNAL VOLUME OF BOX =LBH=185*45*28=233100 CC
\n" ); document.write( "INTERNAL DIMENSIONS
\n" ); document.write( "WOOD THICKNESS=2.5 CM
\n" ); document.write( "L'=185-2*2.5=180 CM
\n" ); document.write( "B'=45-2*2.5=40 CM
\n" ); document.write( "H'=28-1*2.5=25.5 CM...SINCE THE BOX IS OPEN AT TOP
\n" ); document.write( "INTERNAL VOLUME OF BOX =L'*B'*H'=180*40*25.5=183600 CC
\n" ); document.write( "HENCE VOLUME OF WOOD =233100-183600=49500 CC
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
