Question

Jamie unfolded a cardboard box. The figure of the unfolded box is shown below: Which expression can be used to calculate the area of cardboard, in square inches, that was used to make the box? 6 x 4 x 4     4 x 6 x 6    6 x 2 x 2    2 x 6 x 6

Answer 1

6 x 4 x 4

Explanation:

IN order to calculate the total area or the cardboard you just have to make a simple multiplication, the carboard is divided in equal sized squares, 6 equal sizd squares, and each one of them has a 4 inches side, so to calculate the area of the cardboard you just calculate the area of one square and then multiply it by the number of squares.

Area of one square= 4x4

Number of squares=6

Total area of the carboard= 6x4x4

Answer 2

there are 6 sections and the sections are 4 x 4

so the correct expression can be 6x4x4
