Answer 1

Tbh I would go for 360. Don't take my word on it I'm just guessing. Sorry if its wrong...

Answer 2

Amount of paper needed to cover the entire box is:

360 in²

Explanation:

Amount of paper needed to cover the entire box

= Total surface area of the box

= Total surface area of the cuboid

=2(l×b+b×h+h×l)

where l is the length of box

h is the height of the box

and b is the width of the box

Here, l=18 in.

b=6 in.

and h=3 in.

Amount of paper required to wrap the box

=2(18×6+18×3+6×3) in²

= 360 in²
