An open rectangular box externally measures 4m x 3m x 4m. Find the total cost of painting the box externally if it costs N2.00 to paint one square meter
  • A.
    N96.00
  • B.
    N112.00
  • C.
    N136.00
  • D.

Total surface area(s) = 2(4 x 3) + 2(4 x 4)
= 2(12) + 2(16)

1m2 costs N2.00
∴ 56m∴ will cost 56 x N2.00
= N112.00
