Question

Jayde is wrapping a cube shape present that is 14 inches tall. How much wrapping paper will be needed to wrap the whole present?

Answer 1

Answer:

1176in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

find the surface area of the cube

(14*14)6=1176 inches cubed

14*14 is finding the area of one side and then we multiply it by six because that's how many congruent sides there are

Answer 2

Answer:

$\large\boxed{1,176 in^{2} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

The cube is 14 inches tall

All of the sides in a cube are the same, which means:

Length = 14 inches

Width = 14 inches

Height = 14 inches

There are 6 sides in a cube. Each side has a length and a width.

We can use the following formula to find the surface area (SA) of the cube, or how much wrapping paper Jayde will use.

SA = # of Sides(Length(Width))

Plug in known values

SA = 6((14)(14))

The 14s represent the length and width while the 6 represents the number of sides in the cube.

Solve/Simplify

SA = 6(196)

SA = 1,176 inches²

Jayde will need to use 1,176 in² of wrapping paper to wrap the whole present.

Hope this helps :)
