Question

Can someone help me with this two because I am very confused

Answer 1

lwh=-0.80 lwh=0.80lwh

Answer 2

Let the height of the larger box = h

and length and width of the larger box = l and w , repectively

Now , Let find the volume of the larger box

Volume = length * width * height

So Volume of the larger box = l*w*h = lwh

Now the question says

the height of the smaller box is 80% of the height of the larger box

It means

Height of the smaller box = 80% of h = 0.80*h = 0.80h

and the other two dimensions are same so it means length and width of the smaller box = l and w

so, Volume of the smaller box = l*w*0.80h = 0.80lwh

So the Difference in the volume of the two boxes = Volume of larger box - Volume of smaller box

therefore , Difference in the Volume of two boxes = lwh - 0.80 lwh = 0.20lwh
