Question

A large game cube is wrapped with shrink wrap. How many square inches of shrink wrap will be used to wrap five game cubes?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Because there is no information about the length of the cube

Hence, Let a is the length of the cube, we have:

The total surface areas is calculate as:

A = 6
`s^(2)`

<=> A = 6
`a^(2)` square inches

The area of the shrink wrap will be used to wrap five game cubes is:

= The area of one cube * 5

= 6
`a^(2)` *5 = 30
`a^(2)`

For example, the length of the cube is 3 inches

=> The total surface areas is calculate as:

A = 6
`s^(2)` = 6*
`3^(2)` = 54 square inches

The area of the shrink wrap will be used to wrap five game cubes is:

54*5 = 270 square inches

Hope it will find you well.
