To cover the toy box 35.475 sq ft paint is needed.

Explanation:

Given,

The length (l) of the toy box = 3.8 ft

Width (w) = 2.65 ft

Height (h) = 2.75 ft

To find the amount of paint is need we need to find the lateral surface area first.

Formula

Lateral surface of the box = 2(l+w)×h

Now,

The surface area of the box = 2(3.8+2.65)×2.75 sq ft

= 35.475 sq ft
