Answer 1

Answ

592 in²

Explanation:

Given

Length of the box L = 12 inches

Width W = 8 inches

height H = 10inches

Required

Surface Area of the box

Surface area of the rectangular boss = 2(LW + LH + WH)

Substitute the given values

Surface area = 2(12(8)+12(10)+8(10))

Surface Area = 2(96+120+80)

Surface Area = 2(96+200)

Surface area = 2(296)

Surface area = 592 in²

Hence 592 in² of wood would be needed by Mitchell to build the box
