A box open at the top has a rectangular base 200mmx300mm and an altitude of 150mm. If the base and the sides are 10mm thick, find the total surface area of the box.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "A box open at the top has a rectangular base 20 cm x 30cm and an altitude of 15cm. If the base and the sides are 1cm thick, find the total surface area of the box.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "On the outside:
\n" ); document.write( "The SA of the bottom is 20*30 = 600 sq cms
\n" ); document.write( "2 sides are 15*20 = 300*2 = 600 sq cms
\n" ); document.write( "2 sides are 15*30 = 450*2 = 900 sq cms
\n" ); document.write( "Outside SA = 600+600+900 = 2100 sq cms
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "The inside dim's are the OD's minus 2 cms.
\n" ); document.write( "--> 18 X 28 X 13
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "The bottom is 18*28 = 504 sq cms
\n" ); document.write( "2 sides are 13 X 18 = 468 sq cms
\n" ); document.write( "2 sides are 28 X 13 = 728 sq cms
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Area of the open top is 1 cm X the difference of the OD base and the ID base
\n" ); document.write( "= 600 - 504 = 96 sq cms
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Add those.
\n" ); document.write( "If you want to convert to sq mms, multiply by 100.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
