Question

a suitcase with measure 80 CM 40 cm 24 cm measure is to be covered with the title in cloth how much metre of tarpaulin of width 96 cm is required to cover hundred suitcases

Answer 1

We know that Area = 2(lb + bh + lh)

                                 = 2( 80*40 + 40*24 + 80*24)

                                 = 2(3200 + 960 + 1920)

                                 = 12160 cm^2.

Given width of tarpaulin = 96 cm.

Length of tarpaulin to cover one suitcase = 12160/96 = 126.66667.

Length of tarpaulin to cover 100 suitcases = 126.6667 * 100 = 12.67 m.


Hope this helps!
