Given,
A box is made entirely of glass panes (including base) held together with tape.
The length of the box = 3 cm
Width of the box = height of the box = 2.5 cm
To find,
The length of tape is needed for all 12 edges.
Solution,
We can simply solve this mathematical problem using the following process:
Mathematically,
The length of tape is needed to fix all the 12 edges of a cuboid
= Sum of the lengths of all edges of a cuboid
= 4×(length + breadth + height)
Now, according to the question;
The length of tape is needed to fix all the 12 of the given box
= 4×(length + breadth + height)
= 4×(3 cm + 2.5 cm + 2.5 cm)
= 4 × 8 cm
= 32 cm
Hence, 32 cm tape is needed to fix all 12 of the given box.
