Question

Use a net to find the area of the cereal box. 2in,8in,12in

Answer 1

`272 in^2`

Explanation:

The cereal box is a rectangular prism.

Using net of a rectangular prism (cereal box), the surface area

`=2(lw+wh+lh)`

The dimensions of the cereal box is l=2, w=8, and h=12,

We substitute these values into the formula to get:

`S.A=2(2*8+2*12+8*12)`

This simplifies to:

`S.A=2(16+24+96)`

We add within the parenthesis to get:

`S.A=2(136)`

This finally gives us:

`S.A=272 in^2`
