Question

sammi is trying to wrap a gift for her brother. the gift fits into a cube-shaped box with a side length of 9 inches. how many square inches of wrapping paper does she need to cover the box without the paper overlapping? use the formula A=6s2 so that s equals the side length and A equal the surface area

Answer 1

`A=486\ \text{inches}^2`

Explanation:

The area of a cube shaped box is given by :

`A=6s^2`

Where

s is the side length and A is the surface area

We have, s = 9 inches

So,

`A=6* (9)^2\\\\A=486\ \text{inches}^2`

So, the required area is
`486\ \text{inches}^2`.
