Question

    A rectangular prism has dimensions 10 cm × 6 cm × 4 cm. If a cube of side 2 cm is removed from one of the corners, what is the volume of the remaining solid?

    A 238 cm³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 232 cm³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 220 cm³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 216 cm³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Volume of the rectangular prism = length × width × height = 10 × 6 × 4 = 240 cm³. Volume of the cube = side³ = 2³ = 8 cm³. Remaining volume = Volume of the prism - Volume of the cube = 240 - 8 = 232 cm³. Correct option: b) 232 cm³
