Answer:

the second box

Explanation:

To determine which box would use more material to make, the volume of the boxes have to be determined. the box with the larger volume would require more material to make

Volume of a box = length x breadth x height

Volume of box 1 = 8in x 6.25in x 10.5in = 525 in³

Volume of box 2 = 9in x 5.5in x 11.75in = 581.6 in³

the second box has a larger volume and thus would need more material to make
