Answer 1

Area of tissue paper is 384 square inches.

Explanation:

Given:

Length of box = 16 inches.

Width of the box = 12 inches.

We need to find find the area of the tissue paper.

But It is given that the area of the tissue paper sheet is based on twice the length times the width of the box.

Hence Framing in equation form we get;

Area of tissue paper =
`2(length\ of \ box * width \ of \ box)`

Hence Substituting the given values we get;

Area of tissue paper =
`2(12* 16) = 2* 192 = 384 in^2`

Hence Area of tissue paper is 384 square inches.
