To calculate the amount of paper required to cover the matchbox,We need to calculate the surface area of that matchbox with,Length = 4cmBreadth = 2.5cmHeight = 1.5cmTherefore, the surface area of matchbox = 2(lb + bh +hl)Surface area = 2(4*2.5 + 2.5*1.5 + 1.5*4)=> 2( 10 + 3.75 + 6 )=> 2( 19.75 )=> 39.5 cm^2Therefore area of paper required to cover the matchbox = 39.5 cm^2

Hope it helps you.Thank you.Pls do add it as brainliest if u liked it.

39.5cm is the answer of this question
