Question

What is the volume of this container?

Answer 1

You have to cut it have first so there is a top and a bottom rectangle.
For the bottom one it is 40 x 40 x 25 = 40,000
For the top one it is 40 x 35 x 25 = 35,000
Then you add 35,000 and 40,000 to get 75,000 cm cubed

Answer 2

Answer:

C. $75000\text{ cm}^3$

Step-by-step explanation:  

We have been given a container and we are asked to find the volume of our given container.

We can see that our container is made of two cuboids, so we will use volume of cuboid formula to solve our given problem.

$\text{Volume of cuboid}=\text{Length*Breadth*Height}$

We can from provided image that the base cuboid (bigger) has lengths 25 cm, 40 cm and 40 cm.

The height of smaller cuboid will be 25 cm (50 cm -25 cm). The other two sides of smaller cuboid are 35 cm and 40 cm.

$\text{The volume of container}=\text{Volume of the bigger cuboid + Volume of the smaller cuboid}$

Upon substituting our given values in volume formula we will get,

$\text{The volume of container}=\text{25 cm*40 cm*40 cm}+\text{25 cm*35 cm* 40 cm}$

$\text{The volume of container}=40000\text{ cm}^3+35000\text{ cm}^3$

$\text{The volume of container}=75000\text{ cm}^3$

Therefore, the volume of our given container is $75000\text{ cm}^3$ and option C is the correct choice.
