Question

Taylor is wrapping a birthday gift in the rectangular box shown below. How much wrapping paper will Taylor use to wrap the gift?

Answer 1

Answer:

540 in²

Explanation:

blue areas = 18 x 4 x 2 = 144 in²

red areas = 9 x 4 x 2 = 72 in²

yellow areas = 18 x 9 x 2 = 324 in²

324 + 144 + 72 = 540 in²

hope this helps ^-^

Answer 2

To find how much wrapping paper Taylor needs, we can find the total surface area of the rectangular prism.

= 2(18)(9) + 2(18)(4) + 2(9)(4)

= 2(162) + 2(72) + 2(36)

= 324 + 144 + 72

= 540in.²

So, Taylor will need 540in.² of wrapping paper to wrap the gift.

Best of Luck!
