The measurements of an cuboidal oil box are 30cm, 40cm and 50cm respectively. The cost of the tin sheet used in making the box is Rs. 10 per m². Find the cost of the tin required to make 20 such boxes ?​

Cost of 20 boxes = RS. 188

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of box = 30 cm  = 0.3m

Width of box = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Height of box = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Cost per m² = Rs. 10

Find:

Cost of 20 boxes

computation:

TSA of box = 2[lb + bh + hl]

TSA of box = 2[(0.3)(0.4) + (0.4)(0.5) + (0.5)(0.3)]

TSA of box = 2[0.12 + 0.2 + 0.15]

TSA of box = 0.94 m²

Cost of 20 boxes = 0.94 x 20 x 10

Cost of 20 boxes = RS. 188
