A popular brand of soup comes in cans that are
- If you remove a label from a soup can, you’ll see that it’s made from a rectangular piece of paper. How wide and how long is this rectangle (ignoring the small overlap where two ends are glued together)? Use mathematics to solve this problem, even if you have a can to measure. Explain your reasoning.
- Ignoring the small folds and overlaps where the can is joined, determine how much metal sheeting is needed to make the entire can, including the top and bottom. Use the moving and additivity principles about area to explain why your answer is correct. Be sure to use an appropriate unit to describe the amount of metal sheeting

- Kristine creates an open box by cutting congruent squares from the four corners of a square piece of cardboard that has a length of 24 in. per side. If the congruent squares that are removed have sides that measure 6 in. each, what is the volume of the box formed by folding and sealing the flaps?arrow_forwardWhen the length of each edge of a cube is increased by 1 cm, the volume is increase by 61 cm3. What is the length of each edge of the original cube?arrow_forwardAs in Exercise 39, find the volume of the box if four congruent squares with sides of length 6 in. are cut from the corners of a rectangular piece of poster board that is 20 in. wide by 30 in. long. Kristine creates an open box by cutting congruent squares from the four corners of a square piece of cardboard that has a length of 24 in. per side. If the congruent squares that are removed have sides that measure 6 in. each, what is the volume of the box formed by folding and sealing the flaps?arrow_forward
