A suitcase with measure 80 into 48 into 24 cm is to be covered with a tarpaulin cloth. how many meters of tarpaulin of width 96cm is required to cover 100 such suitcases

The suitcase

l = 80 cm

b = 48 cm

h = 24 cm

therefore,

Total Surface Area = 2 (lb + bh + lh)

= 2 [ (80*48) + (48*24) + (80 * 24) ]

= 2 (3840 + 1152 + 1920)

= 2 * 6912

= 13824 cm^2

Length of cloth required = (area of suitcase / breadth) * 100

= (13824 / 96) * 100

= 144 * 100

= 14400 cm

= 14400 / 100 m

= 144 m
