The surface area of a box 15cm x 12cm x 8 cm is 2 times 15cm times 12cm, plus 2 times 15cm times 8 cm, plus 2 time 12cm times 8 cm, or 792cm2. However, this is only the surface area - the actual wrapping paper required would depend on the method of wrapping and how much overlap is desired. Since you would not want to splice the paper, you certainly would need more that 792cm2 but, again, that depends on your wrapping style.

What is the difference between one dimension two dimensions and three dimensions?

It's a difference in how things are perceived. For instance, our world is three-dimensional. Imagine looking at one side of a piece of paper. That's one dimension. Now look at both sides of the paper; front and back, it's two dimensions. Now imagine the paper turns into a box. That's three dimensions. 1-length 2-width 3-height That answer is just so wrong. A line is one dimensional. It has just length no width or height. (This is an ideal line, not one that you draw since that WILL have a width - it will be as wide as your pencil point.) A sheet of paper is two dimensional (NOT 1-d as stated above). The other side of the sheet of paper is completely irrelevant. A sheet has length and width. If you hold it up, it has length and height (or width and height). Again, this is an ideal sheet of paper, since it will have a very very tiny width (or thickness). Finally, a cube (or a box), which has length, breadth and width is three dimensional.


What does it mean to have length and width?

Length and width define two dimensions, like a piece of paper has a length distance measure along one side and a width distance measure on the other side. In three dimensions there is length and width and height, like a solid brick or block
