Answer 1

Answer:

$10800\ \text{cm}$

Step-by-step explanation:

l = Length = 11 cm

w = Width = 8 cm

h = Height = 8 cm

Perimeter of cardboard required for one box is

$4(l+w+h)=4(11+8+8)\\ =108\ \text{cm}$

There are 100 gifts to pack so the total amount of cardboard needed would be

$108\times 100=10800\ \text{cm}$

So, the minimum amount of cardboard Cathy needs to package all the gifts is $10800\ \text{cm}$.
