You have to wrap gift boxes for your club project. Each box is 4.5 inches wide, 7 inch long, and 4 inches tall. What size sheet of wrapping paper do you need to cut to cover the
box?
Gift wrap paper comes in sheets which are 30 inches wide and 36 inches long. How should you cut your sheet to make the best use of the paper?
the value of 27+55+13 and adds 27+13 to get 40 and then adds 55 which of the following properties is being used
To determine the size of the sheet of wrapping paper needed to cover the box, we need to find the total surface area of the box.
The surface area of a rectangular box can be calculated by finding the sum of the areas of its six sides: two sides with dimensions width x height, two sides with dimensions length x height, and two sides with dimensions length x width.
Given that the box's dimensions are:
Width = 4.5 inches
Length = 7 inches
Height = 4 inches
We can calculate the surface area as follows:
Side 1 (width x height) = 4.5 inches x 4 inches = 18 square inches
Side 2 (width x height) = 4.5 inches x 4 inches = 18 square inches
Side 3 (length x height) = 7 inches x 4 inches = 28 square inches
Side 4 (length x height) = 7 inches x 4 inches = 28 square inches
Side 5 (length x width) = 7 inches x 4.5 inches = 31.5 square inches
Side 6 (length x width) = 7 inches x 4.5 inches = 31.5 square inches
Total surface area = 18 + 18 + 28 + 28 + 31.5 + 31.5 = 155 square inches
Now, let's determine how the wrapping paper sheet can be cut to make the best use of the paper.
The wrapping paper has dimensions of 30 inches wide and 36 inches long. We want to minimize waste while ensuring that the sheet can cover all the sides of the box.
Since the width of the wrapping paper (30 inches) is larger than the width of the box (4.5 inches), we can cut the paper into the height dimension to match the box's height (4 inches) and then fold the excess to cover the length of the box (7 inches).
To wrap multiple boxes, we will align the boxes side by side along the width of the wrapping paper, starting from the short end of the paper (30 inches wide). We can then cut the paper to the appropriate height (4 inches) and fold any excess to cover the length (7 inches) of each box, repeating the process for each box. The leftover paper from each sheet can be used for additional boxes.
So, for each box, you will need a sheet of wrapping paper with dimensions:
Width = 4.5 inches
Length = 7 inches
Height = 4 inches
To make the best use of the paper, cut each sheet to be 4 inches wide and 7 inches long, and fold any excess to cover the remaining length. By aligning multiple boxes side by side, you can efficiently wrap the boxes using the sheets of wrapping paper.
