Question

Owen built a toy box in the shape of a rectangular prism with an open top. The diagram below shows the toy box and a net of the toy box.

Answer 1

The calculated surface area of the net is 556 square meters

Finding the surface area of the net (toy box)

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The net of the rectangular prism i.e. toy box

The surface area of the net is then calculated as

Surface area = Sum of areas of the rectangles that make the shape

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

Surface area = 2 * (8 * 11 + 8 * 10 + 10 * 11)

Evaluate

Surface area = 556

Hence, the surface area of the net is 556 square meters
