Question

Mary bought an aquarium that is cuboid in shape. The bottom is a rectangle with sides of 50 cm and 70 cm. The height of the aquarium is 4 dm. Find how many gallons of water this aquarium can hold. How much a square decimeter of glass was used to make the aquarium when it was open at the top and the bottom was plastic?

Answer 1

Area of the paper required =7000 cm²

Explanation:

Dimensions of an Aquarium:

Length (l) = 80 cm,

Breadth (b) = 30 cm,

Height (h) = 40 cm

/* According to the problem given,

Area of the paper required =

Area of the base + 2×Area of two side faces + Area of the back side

(Front side should be visible,So, it is not covered )

= lb+2×bh+lh

= 80×30+2×(30×40)+80×40

= 2400+2×1200+3200

= 2400+2400+3200

= 7000 cm²

Therefore,

Area of the paper required =7000 cm²
