Solution

Dimensions of cuboidal tin box are 20 cm × 16 cm × 14 cm,

∴ Area of metal sheet for 1 box = Surface area of cuboid

= 2(lb + bh + hl)

= 2(20 × 16 + 16 × 14 + 14 × 20)

= 2(320 + 224 + 280)

= 2(824)

= 1648 cm2

∴ Area of metal sheet required to make 10 such boxes = 10 × 1648 = 16480 cm2
