Question

Mrs. Stancil is planning to use

wrapping paper to cover a gift box that is the
shape of a rectangular prism with dimensions of
3ft by 4ft by 5ft. If the wrapping paper costs
S0.05 per square foot, how much will it cost?

Answer 1

4.70

Explanation:

there are 6 sides on a box

2 sides are 12 square feet (3*4), 2 sides are 15 square ft (3*5), and 2 sides are 20 square ft (4*5)

12*2+15*2+20*2=24+30+40=94 square feet

if each square foot costs $0.05 (I think that's what it says) then you would do 94*0.05= $4.70

so, your answer is $4.70
