Question 1102177: Janet wants to wrap her friends birthday present with a diameter of 12cm by 27cm by 34cm. If she left 42cm for the boy, how much ribbon would she need altogether? Answer by greenestamps(13209) (Show Source):
The dimensions are 12x27x34 (not diameter).
And she left 42cm for the bow, not the boy.
Clarity is very useful when you are trying to get help with a problem....
So the package is a rectangular box.
But there are many different ways to wrap a ribbon around a box. You need to specify in the statement of the problem how the ribbon is wrapped.
