Answer:
The amount of cardboard Digit Tech needs to
package all 1500 new Smart Phones = 891000 square cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Points to remember:-
Surface area of cuboid
Surface area = 2(lb + bh + lh)
Where, l - Length of cuboid
b - Breadth of cuboid and
h - Height of cuboid
It is given dimensions of cardboard box
12 cm long, 9 cm wide, and 9 cm high.
To find the surface area of box
Here l = 12 cm, b = 9 cm and h = 9 cm
Surface area = 2(lb + bh + lh) = 2[(9*12) + (9*9) + (12 * 9)]
= 2(108 + 81 + 108) = 2 * 297 = 594 square cm
To find the cardboard required for 1500 box
Total cardboard = 1500 * 594 = 891000 square cm
