every 2cm2 of cardbord has a mass of 1g.what is the mass of the cardbord to make the box.th e box is 16cm long 22 cm high and 4 wide
does the box have six sides? Figure the total area, multiply by 2, and you have the mass.
yes that is one of the ways to approach it 😎
To find the mass of the cardboard needed to make the box, we first need to calculate the surface area of the cardboard required.
The surface area of a rectangular box can be found using the formula:
Surface Area = 2(length x width + length x height + width x height)
For the given dimensions, the surface area will be:
Surface Area = 2(16 x 4 + 16 x 22 + 4 x 22)
Simplifying the equation:
Surface Area = 2(64 + 352 + 88)
Surface Area = 2(504)
Surface Area = 1008 cm²
According to the given information, every 2 cm² of cardboard has a mass of 1g. Therefore, to find the mass of the cardboard required for the box, we divide the surface area by 2 and multiply it by the mass per 2 cm²:
Mass = (Surface Area / 2) x Mass per 2 cm²
Mass = (1008 cm² / 2) x 1 g per 2 cm²
Mass = 504 g
Hence, the mass of the cardboard needed to make the box is 504 grams.
