Question

Please hurry if you can. A gift in a cubic box with 15 inches edge lengths needs to be wrapped.

How many square inches of wrapping paper will be needed to cover the box?

Question 3 options:

2250 in2

1350 in2

3375 in2

Answer 1

1350 in^2

Explanation:

In order to solve this question, you need to find the surface area of the box. This is because the box needs to be covered by wrapping paper.

1. Formula for the surface area of a cube: A=6x^2, in which x represents the length of the cube.

2. Plug in 15 as x and solve.

A=6(15^2)

A=6(225)

A=1350
