Question

Please please help me dayson is covering a package in the shape of a rectangular prism with wrapping paper. the package is 50 centimeters by 20 centimeters by 18 centimeters. he has 1 square meter of wrapping paper. can he completely cover the package with wrapping paper? complete the explanation to show your answer. dayson has 1 m2 of wrapping paper, which is cm2. the package has a surface area of cm2. does dayson have enough paper? enter yes or no.

Answer 1

The package has a surface area of 4520cm². The area of the package is less than the area of the wrapping paper. So, dayson  can cover the package with the wrapping paper.

According to the question,

The first step is to determine the surface area of the package.

Total surface area of a cuboid = 2 (l w + w h + l h)

where:

• l = length

• w = width

• h = height

2[(50 x 20) + (50 x 18) + (20 x 18)] = 4520cm²

The second step is to convert 1 square meter to cm

1m² = 100 cm²

100 x 100 = 10,000
