Answer 1

The dimension of the rectangular box is 60cm x 45cm x 32cm. The dimension of the wood used has the thickness of 2.5 cm all around the rectangular box. In order to get the volume of the wood, subtract each side of the rectangular box by 2.5.

Volume = 57.5 cm x 52.5cm x 29.5cm
Volume = 89053.1252 cm^3
