Question

Jenna wants to wrap a shipping box shaped like a rectangular prism. The box is 28 inches tall and has a square base with sides that each measure 6 inches. How much paper will she​ use?

Answer 1

1008 cubic inches

Explanation:

To solve this question, we have to find the volume of the rectangular prism

The formula is given as:

Area of the base × Height of the prism

Sides of the base = 6 inches

Hence, the area = 6 inches × 6 inches = 36 square inches

Height of the prism = 28 inches

Hence,

The volume of the rectangular prism =

36 square inches × 28 inches

= 1008 cubic inches

Therefore, Jenna needs to use 1008 cubic inches of paper.
