Answer:
The perimeter of the square wooden box is 91.2 cm
Area of the square wooden box is 346.56 sq. cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The original side of the wooden box = 6 cm
Now, New side of the box = Original side of the square + 1.6 cm
= 6 cm + 1.6 cm = 7.6 cm
or, the new side of the wooden square box = 7. 6 cm
(a) PERIMETER of the new box = 12 x Side of the box
= 12 x (7.6 cm) = 91.2 cm
Hence, the perimeter of the square wooden box = 91.2 cm
(b) Area of the new box = 6 x [tex](Side)^2[/tex]
= 6 x [tex](7.6)^2[/tex] = 346.56 sq. cm
Hence, the area of the square wooden box = 346.56 sq. cm
