paper. The dimensions of the box are 15 cm × 12 cm × ‘a’ cm. The cost of wrapping the gift is Rs. 9504, given that the price of the gift paper is Rs. 12 per cm². Determine the value of ‘a’.Solution

According to question,
2 (15 × 12 + 12a + 15a) = 792
180 + 27a = 396
27a = 216, a = 8
So, the value of ‘a’ = 8 cm
