Question

A suitcase with measures 80cm×48cm×24cm is to be covered with a tarpaulin cloth. How many metres of tarpaulin of width 96cm is required to cover 100 such suitcase

Answer 1

Answer:first find the area of suitcase

Then find how many trapulin required for it

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

144 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Suitcase is in the shape of a cuboid. So we need to compute the Total Surface Area (TSA) of the suitcase which is 2(Length*breadth+breadth*height+length*height)

TSA of the suitcase = 2(80*48+48*24+80*24)

=2(3840+1152+1920)

=13,824 cm^2

Now we need to compute the length of the tarpaulin required to cover one suitcase. Given the width of the tarpaulin is 96cm.

In order to cover one suitcase, the area of the tarpaulin will be equal to the TSA of suitcase.

Let the length of the tarpaulin required be lcm.

So, l*96 = 13,824

l = 13,824/96 = 144cm

To cover one suitcase we need 144cm of tarpaulin.

To cover 100 suitcases we need 144*100 cm  or 144 meter of tarpaulin.
