*Round decimals to the nearest tenth*

Farah the Frog is hopping to a birthday party. She has purchased a small teddy
teddy bear for the birthday girl. The box is 2 inches tall, 4 inches wide, and 6
inches long. What is the surface area of this box?
What is the volume of the box?

Answer 1

The surface area can be calculate using the formula:

S.A =2lw+2lh+2hw

where l is the length, w is the width and h is the height

From the question, l=6 w = 4 and h =2

Subatitute the values and evaluate

S.A = 2(6)(4)+ 2(6)(2) + 2(2)(4)

= 48 + 24 + 16

= 88 square inches
