A paper bag is 16 cm long, 5 cm wide and 20 cm tall. Inside the bag is a box that is 8cm long, 3 cm wide and 10 cm tall. How much space is left in the bag?

volume of paper bag= 16×5×20=1600cmcube

volume of box= 8×3×10= 240

space left = 1600-240= 1360cmcube

hope it helps

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
