Question

Mr. Boccio lost the top to the storage box that holds the calculators. He wants to repaint the storage box a different color for the next school year. What is the surface area of the portion of the storage box he is painting?

Answer 1

32 ft²

Explanation:

Given :

The dimensions for a storage box :

3 by 2 by 2

The surface area of a box is obtained using the expression :

Surface Area = 2(lh + lw + hw)

Where h, l, w are height, lengtb and width respectively

Surface area = 2[(3*2) + (3*2) + (2*2)]

Surface area = 2[6 + 6 + 4]

= 2(16)

= 32 ft²
