Question

500 identical chocolate boxes are to be packed in a carton . All the boxes and the packing carton are cubical in shape . If the volume of the carton is 500 cubic inches . Find the surface area of a box in square inches?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 sq.inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cubical carton = 500 cubic inches

500  identical chocolate boxes are to be packed in a carton

Volume of 1 box = $\frac{\text{Volume of carton}}{500}$

Volume of 1 box = $\frac{500}{500}$

Volume of 1 box =1 cubic inches

Volume of cube = $Side^3$

$Side^3=1$

$Side=1$

Surface area of box = $6a^2$

Surface area of box = $6(1)^2$

Surface area of box = 6 sq.inches

Hence  the surface area of a box is 6 square inches .
