Question 1159776
A gift has the dimensions of 𝟓𝟎 𝐜𝐦 × 𝟑𝟓 𝐜𝐦 × 𝟓 𝐜𝐦. You have wrapping paper with dimensions of 𝟕𝟓 𝐜𝐦 ×
𝟔𝟎 𝐜𝐦. Do you have enough wrapping paper to wrap the gift? Why or why not?
<pre>Simply, and based on how gift boxes are wrapped, there's NOT enough wrapping paper.
The gift box's top and bottom have the largest surface areas, which means that the top and bottom would have the longest sides being 50 cm each, or a total length of
2(50) or 100 cm. The sides have not even been taken into consideration, just the top and bottom of the gift box.
Now, when the longer side of the wrapping paper is folded over, will it be enough to cover at least 100 cm? No!!
Just have a little imagination and it'll become quite clear to you!
