Answer :

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many cuboids Aliyah could completely cover with the given paint, we need to calculate the total surface area that one cuboid can cover.

The cuboid's dimensions are:

- Length = 10 cm

- Width = 7 cm

- Height = 20 cm

To find the total surface area of the cuboid, we calculate the sum of the areas of all its faces.

The formula for the surface area of a cuboid is:

Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Given the dimensions of the cuboid:

- Length (l) = 10 cm

- Width (w) = 7 cm

- Height (h) = 20 cm

Substitute these values into the formula to find the total surface area covered by one cuboid:

Surface Area = 2(10)(7) + 2(10)(20) + 2(7)(20)

Surface Area = 140 + 400 + 280

Surface Area = 820 cm²

Now, to determine how many cuboids Aliyah could cover with the paint that covers 49,200 cm², we divide the total area to cover by the surface area of one cuboid:

Number of cuboids = 49200/820=60

Therefore, Aliyah could completely cover 60 cuboids like the one shown with the paint that covers 49,200 cm².
