Question

Frank got a gift for his sister and put it in a shoebox.

Now, he wants to wrap it with wrapping paper.
If the length of the shoebox measures 9 in, the width measures 4 in, and the height measures 3 in, how much wrapping paper does he need to cover the shoebox?

Answer 1

150 square inch

Explanation:

you want to calculate each rectangle area individually then add all together

A = lw

1st one....9*4 = 36 sq. in

2nd one..4*3 = 12 sq. in

3rd one...9*3 = 27 sq. in

4th one...4*3 = 12 sq. in

5th one...9 *4 = 36 sq. in

6th one...9*3 = 27 sq. in

add all = 150 sq. in.
