Answer:
[tex]10800\ \text{cm}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
l = Length = 11 cm
w = Width = 8 cm
h = Height = 8 cm
Perimeter of cardboard required for one box is
[tex]4(l+w+h)=4(11+8+8)\\ =108\ \text{cm}[/tex]
There are 100 gifts to pack so the total amount of cardboard needed would be
[tex]108\times 100=10800\ \text{cm}[/tex]
So, the minimum amount of cardboard Cathy needs to package all the gifts is [tex]10800\ \text{cm}[/tex].
