Solution
Length of the matchbox, l = 4 cm
Breadth of the matchbox, b = 2.5 cm
Height of the matchbox, h = 1.5 cm
∴ Surface area of the box
= 2(l × b + b × h + h × l)
= 2(4 × 2.5 + 2.5 × 1.5 + 1.5 × 4)
= 2(10 + 3.75 + 6)
= 2 × 19.75
= 39.5 cm2
Hence, 39.5 cm2 of the craft paper will be needed to cover the matchbox.
