Dear Student, Please find your answer below.  l=25 cm, w=15 cm, h(thickness)=20 mm (some error in given data, I have taken 20 mm instead of 20 cm) Area A = 2(lh) + 2(lw) + 2(wh) Area A = 2(25x 2) + 2(25 x 15) + 2(15 x 2) = 910 cm 2 Volume V = 25x 15 x 2 = 750 cm 3 Chvorinov’s Rule: TST(Total Solidification Time) = Cm (V/A ...
