12. A pen stand made of wood is in the shape of a cuboid with four conical depressions to hold pens. The
dimensions of the cuboid are 16 cm by 10 cm by 3.7 cm. The radius of each of the depressions is 0.6 cm
and the depth is 1.5 cm. Find the volume of the wood in the entire stand.

Answer:

The dimensions of the cuboid are16 cm by 10 cm by 3.7 cm.

So, Volume of the cuboid is = l × b × h = 16 × 10 × 3.7 = 592 cm3

Radius of the conical depression (r) = 0.6 cm

Height of the conical depression (h) = 1.5 cm

As the pen stand made of wood is in the shape of a cuboid with four conical depressions,

Volume of wood

= volume of cuboid – 4 (volume of cone)

= 592 – (4 × 13 × 227 × 0.6 × 0.6 × 1.5)

= 592 – 2.26

= 589.74 cm3

So, the Volume of wood = 589.74 cm3.. .
