Answer 1

Answer:

47.16 Square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Width=7.2cm

Length =19cm

Height =32cm

Surface Area=2(LW+LH+WH)

=2(19*7.2+19*32+7.2*32)

Surface Area $=1950.4 cm^2$

When the height is increased by 0.9cm

Height =32.9cm

Surface Area=2(LW+LH+WH)

=2(19*7.2+19*32.9+7.2*32.9)

Surface Area $=1997.56 cm^2$

Difference in Surface Area=1997.56-1950.4

=47.16 Square centimeters

An alternative way is to calculate the surface area dealing with the height only using the height difference,

Difference=2(LH+WH)

=2(19*0.9+7.2*0.9)

=47.16 Square centimeters
