1. A small indoor green house (herbarium) is made entirely of glass panes
(including base) held together with tape. It is 30 cm long, 25 cm wide and 25 cm
high.
(i) What is the surface area of the glass?
Ans. Length (l ) of green house  30 cm
Breadth (b) of green house  25 cm
Height (h) of green house  25 cm
The green house is cuboid and Glass is on the all 6 sides of cuboid greenhouse
Area of glass = Surface area of green house
 2[lb  lh  bh]
 [2(30  25  30  25  25  25)]cm2
 [2(750  750  625)]cm2
 (2  2125)cm 2
 4250 cm2
Hence 4250 cm2 of the glass is required to make a herbarium.
(ii) How much of tape is needed for all the 12 edges?
Ans. Tape is used at 12 edges.
 Tape is used at 4 lengths, 4 breadths and 4 heights.
 Total length of the tape  4(l  b  h)

dimensions 25 cm by 20 cm by 5 cm and the smaller of dimensions 15 cm by
12 cm by 5 cm. 5% of the total surface area is required extra, for all the
overlaps. If the cost of the card board is Rs. 4 for 1000 cm2 , find the cost of
cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each kind.

Ans. Given, Length of bigger cardboard box (L)  25 cm
Breadth  B   20 cm and Height (H)  5 cm
Total surface area of bigger cardboard box
 2(LB  BH  HL)
Substitute values
 2(25  20  20  5  5  25)
 2(500  100  125)
 1450 cm2
5% extra surface of total surface area is required for all the overlaps.
5
 5% of 1450  1450  72.5 cm 2
100
Now, total surface area of bigger cardboard box with extra overlaps
 1450  72.5  1522.5 cm2
 Total surface area with extra overlaps of 250 such boxes
 250 1522.5  380625 cm2
Since, Cost of the cardboard for 1000 cm2  Rs. 4
4
Now, Cost of the cardboard for 1cm2  Rs.
1000
4
Cost of the cardboard for 380625 cm2  Rs.  380625  Rs. 1522.50
1000

Now length of the smaller box (l )  15 cm ,
Breadth (b)  12 cm and Height (h)  5 cm
Total surface area of the smaller cardboard box
 2(lb  bh  hl )
Substitute values
 2(15 12  12  5  5 15)
 2(180  60  75)
 2  315  630 cm2
5% of extra surface of total surface area is required for all the overlaps.
5
Thus, 5% of 630   630  31.5 cm 2
100
Total surface area with extra overlaps  630  31.5  661.5 cm2
Now Total surface area with extra overlaps of 250 such smaller boxes
 661.5  250  165375 cm2
Cost of the cardboard for 1000 cm2  Rs. 4
4
Cost of the cardboard for 1cm2  Rs.
1000
4
Cost of the cardboard for 165375 cm2  Rs. 165375  Rs. 661.50

Therefore, Total cost of the cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each
kind
 Total cost of bigger boxes  Total cost of smaller boxes
