A gift box is in the shape of a cube whose side is 0.5 m. A wrapper used to pack the entire box and its cost is ₹20 per m². Find the total cost of the wrapper
Side = l = 0.5 m.
Total surface area of a cube = 6 × (l)²
= 6 × (0.5)²
= 6 × 0.25
= 1.5 m²
Cost of wrapper for 1 m² is ₹20.
∴ Total cost of the wrapper = 1.5 × ₹20
= ₹30
