Since, the shoebox is to be covered with a colored paper it will consume the total surface of the shoebox.

We know that,

The shoebox is cuboidal-shaped with given dimensions (25×10×12)cm

Surface area of the shoebox :

=> 2{(25*10) + (10*12) + (12*10)}

=> 2{250 + 120 + 120}

=> 2{490}

=> 980cm²
