Question

Oliver is building a box kite. The frame of the kite has the dimensions 30cm (one side of the top) and 30 cm (one side of the bottom) he covered the sides of the kite but not the top and bottom with 7200 centimeters square of lightweight fabric what is the volume inside the kite?

Answer 1

Answer: 54000 cube cm

 

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the height of the box kite,

Also the length of one face = 30 cm,

Hence, the total area of the kite box that is covered by the fabric

= 4 × Area of one face

= 4 × 30 × h

= 120 h

According to the question,

120 h = 7200

h = 60 cm

Hence, the height of the box = 60 cm,

The volume inside the kite = The base area of the box × Its height

= 30² × 60

= 900 × 60

= 54000 cm³
