Answer:
Kali needs 104 more tiles to completely cover the box.
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of box = 20 in
Breadth of box = 6 in
Height of box= 9 in
Total surface area of box = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Total surface area of box = 2(20)(6) + 2(20)(9) + 2(6)(9)
Total surface area of box = 708 sq. in.
Side of tile = 1 in
Area of 1 tile = [tex]Side^2 = 1^2 = 1 sq. in[/tex]
Area of 604 tiles = 604 sq. in.
Area remain uncovered = 708 - 604 = 104 sq.in.
So, Kali needs 104 more tiles to completely cover the box.
