Question

trey needs to wrap a box that is shaped like a rectangular prism. The box has a length of 18 in. a width of 7 in. and. a height of 5 in. What is the total area that was wrapped if you assume no overlap?

Answer 1

The total area that was wrapped is 502 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total area of the box, we need to find the surface area of all six sides.

The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:

Surface Area = 2 * (length * width + length * height + width * height)

Plugging in the given measurements:

Surface Area = 2 * (18 * 7 + 18 * 5 + 7 * 5)

= 2 * (126 + 90 + 35)

= 2 * 251

= 502 in²

So, the total area that was wrapped without any overlap is 502 square inches.
