Question

Victor wrapped this gift box with adhesive paper with no overlaps.

Answer 1

We are given Height, Width and Length of gift box , so the box is of the shape of cuboid.

To wrap the gift box we need to find surface area of the box.

The surface area of cuboid can be found using the formula:

$SA= 2(lb+lh+hb)$

where l=length, b=breadth and h=height of the cuboid.

We are given:

length = 8 inches.

Breadth = width = 6 inches

Height = 5 inches

Plugging these values in the formula ,

$SA= 2(8*6+6*5+5*8)$

Surface Area = 236 square inches.

Answer: Victor will require 236 square inches of wrapping paper to gift wrap the box.
