Question

Mr. McNeely has a wooden box in the shape of a right rectangular prism. The box measures 2

feet by 3 feet by 2.8 feet. What is the surface area of the box?

Answer 1

40ft^2

Explanation:

multiply :

2(2*3)

2(2*2.8)

2(3*2.8)

Each value in the parenthesis are the areas of 3 different sides. You then multiply by two because there is another side opposite to the side that is the same.

then add all of those up

you get 40
