You will need to determine the total surface area of the bar of chocolate Surface area is determined by \[2lw+2lh+2wh\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Substitute the proper values and you'll have your answers :)

OpenStudy (briannabug):

The problem is that I don't really understand how. :(

You have lenght width and height provided to you It doesn't matter which is which Try substituting 50 for l,90 for w, and 3.5 for h Now solve

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

You have to cover entire chocolate,so all part need to be covered by wrapping outside the chocolate. So you need to calculate CSA i.e curved surface area

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

that surface area gives you answer!

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

so do you know the formula of CSA OF CUBOID ?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

You can refer to BRILL'S ANSWER ! This is what i said.

OpenStudy (briannabug):

Not to sound dumb but what is CSA OF CUBOID ? I'm sorry :(

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@briannabug sorry,you have to calculate TSA !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In simpler terms @briannabug Solve \[(2\times 50\times 90)+(2\times 50\times 3.5)+(2\times 90\times 3.5)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This what you do because length times width gives you one of the face, but then you multiply by two because there ATLEAST TWO congruent faces on a rectangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The same applies to length times height and height times width

OpenStudy (briannabug):

Okay, I got 9980? Sorry my OS was lagging

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup that's right :) Sorry didn't see this
