Since your little brother loves cereal, you decide to give him his favorite cereal, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, as a surprise present.

There is only one square sheet of wrapping paper that measures 60 cm wide and 60 cm long.

The measurements of the cereal box are 30 cm x 40 cm x 5 cm.

Do you have enough wrapping paper to wrap the cereal box?

oops answer is in the comments... there are two sides of the box that have a match. so take the area 60 60 and subtract ( 2 (30 40) + (30 5)*2 ) enough paper!!

Yes, you have enough wrapping paper to wrap the cereal box. The surface area of the cereal box is 3100 cm², while the area of the wrapping paper is 3600 cm², so the wrapping paper is sufficient. This shows that the wrapping paper can cover the entire surface of the box.
