448 in.

Explanation:

Edge 2021

Answer 2

if we look at the photo of the box, one side is 8.in one is 6.in and the other is 16.in. If we were too do this, we'd note the fact that one side doesn't need painted, so we won't pay attention to that side, unless we're using that number in the math equation.

Long story short:

Evan will need enough paint to cover 448 in.2

The maximum amount of soil is 768 in.3

I did the test/quiz on Edge 2021. So it is correct.
