उत्तर
Let,
a →a Initial edge of the cube
A → Initial surface area of the cube
a' → Increased edge of the cube
A' → Increased surface area of the cube
We have to find the percentage increase in the surface area of the cube
Since it’s given that
`a = a+axx50/100`
`= 3/2 a`
We have,
`A' = 6(a)^2`
`= 6 (3/2a)^2 { Since , a' = 3/2 a}`
` = 9/4 (6a^2)`
` =9/4 A`
Percentage increase in surface area,
`=(A'-A)/A xx 100`
`=(9/4 A-A)/A xx 100`
`=(5/4A)/A xx 100`
= 125
Increase in surface area is 125% .

Parveen wanted to make a temporary shelter for her car, by making a box-like structure with tarpaulin that covers all the four sides and the top of the car (with the front face as a flap which can be rolled up). Assuming that the stitching margins are very small, and therefore negligible, how much tarpaulin would be required to make the shelter of height 2.5 m, with base dimensions 4 m × 3 m?
