Question

LeAnn wants to giftwrap a present she got for her little brother. How many square inches of giftwrap will be needed to cover a box that is 4in x 6in x 2in? In your final answer, include all of your calculations.

Answer 1

For this case we must find the surface area of a rectangular prism.
We have then:

`A = 2 * (w * l) + 2 * (w * h) + 2 * (l * h)`
Where,
w: width
l: long
h: height
Substituting values we have:

`A = 2 * (4 * 6) + 2 * (4 * 2) + 2 * (6 * 2) A = 88 in ^ 2`
Answer:
There will be needed 88 in ^ 2 of giftwrap to cover the box
