Question

What is the surface area of the jewelry box that would need to be wrapped with wrapping paper?

Width: 6cm
Length: 8cm
Height: 7cm

Answer 1

292 cm²

Explanation:

First, find the area of the base of the box:

A = lw

A = 8(6)

A = 48 cm²

Then, find the area of the sides of the box:

A = lw

A = 8(7) = 56 cm²

A = lw

A = 6(7) = 42 cm²

Then add up all the areas of the sides and bases:

48 + 48 + 56 +56 + 42 +42 =

292cm²
