A closed box measures externally   9dm long, 6dm broad, 4(1/2)dm high, and  is made of wood 2(1/2)cm thick. Find the  cost of lining it on the inside with metal  at 6 paise per sq.m.

Inside of box  length=90−2×2.5=85 cm=0.85 m  width=60−2×2.5=55 cm=0.55 m  height=45−2×2.5=40 cm=0.4 m  area of inside = 2(0.85×0.55+0.55×0.4+0.4×0.85)  =2.055 m^2   cost=2.055×6=12.33 p
