Question

Soledad has a storage box. The box is 6 1/2 inches long, 4 3/4 inches wide and 7 inches tall. She wants to run a border around the top of the box. How much border does she need?

Answer 1

Answer:

She need 10.5 inches border

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of box =$\frac{1}{2} inches$

Breadth of box =$4\frac{3}{4} inches$

Breadth of box =$\frac{19}{4} inches$

Height of box = 7 inches

Now we are given that Soledad wants to run a border around the top of the box.

So, Length of top = Perimeter = $2(l+b)=2(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{19}{4})=10.5$

Hence She need 10.5 inches border
