Question

Manuela has two boxes. The larger of the two boxes has dimensions of 15cm by 25cm by 29 cm. The smaller of the two boxes is a cube with sides that are 10 cm long. If she were to put the smaller box inside the larger, what would be the remaining volume of the larger box?

Answer 1

Find the volume of the large box:
15x25x29
375x29
10,875cm³
and the smaller box:
10x10x10
100x10
1,000
then subtract
10,875-1,000=9,875cm³ remaining
