The image is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

area he will cover with paper = 196 in²

Explanation:

From the image, we see that the base of the face= 8 inches while the height is 14 inches.

We know area of triangle is;

A = (1/2) x base x height

Thus;

A = (1/2) x 8 x 14 = 55 in²

This is area of one side face.

Thus area of 3 side faces = 56 x 3 = 168 in²

Thus, total area covered is;

Area of side faces + area of base = 168 + 28 = 196 in²
