Question

A gift box is 14 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 4 inches high. How much wrapping paper is needed to wrap the gift box?

A) 200 in
B) 350 in
C) 400 in
D) 550 in

Answer 1

Hey there!

To solve this, find the surface area . . .

8 x 14 = 112

4 x 14 = 56

4 x 8 = 32

112 + 56 = 168

168 + 32 = 200

200 x 2 = 400

The correct answer to your question is option C.

400 inches of wrapping paper is needed to wrap the gift box.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
