Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Shyla spend $30.94 on the fabrics

Explanation:

Shyla has a box with the dimensions of 7 inches, 11 inches, 8 inches. Since it has 3 sides thus, it is form of a cuboid.

Here Length (l) = 7 inches

Breadth (b) = 11 inches

Height (h) = 8 inches

Surface area of Cuboid = 2( lb +bh + hl )

Substitute the values, we get,

Surface area of Cuboid = 2( 7 × 11 + 11× 8 + 7 × 8 )

= 2( 77 +88 +56)

= 422 square inches.

Given: the fabric costs 7 cents per square inch = $0.07 per square inches.

Money Shyla spend on the fabric = total area × cost of fabric per square inch

= 442 × 0.07

= $30.94

Thus, Shyla spend $30.94 on the fabrics.

So , Option (D) is correct.
