Answer:

The total surface area of a box is 450\frac{1}{2} \:in^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, the surface area is the sum of all the areas of all the shapes that cover the surface of the object.

A box is most often characterized by its height h, and its width, W, and its length L.

The total surface area of a box is made up of three pairs of sides for a total of six sides and its given by

                                     A = 2(h \cdot W) + 2(h  \cdot L) + 2(W  \cdot L)

We know that the width of a box is 8 1/2 inches, the height of a box is 5 1/2 inches, and the length of a box is 12 3/4 inches.

The total surface area of a box is

A= 2\left(5\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:8\frac{1}{2}\right)+2\left(5\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:12\frac{3}{4}\right)+2\left(8\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:12\frac{3}{4}\right)\\\\\mathrm{Convert\:mixed\:numbers\:to\:improper\:fractions} \\\\A=2\left(\frac{11}{2}\cdot \frac{17}{2}\right)+2\left(\frac{11}{2}\cdot \frac{51}{4}\right)+2\left(\frac{17}{2}\cdot \frac{51}{4}\right)\\\\A=\frac{187}{2}+\frac{561}{4}+\frac{867}{4}\\\\A=\frac{901}{2}=450\frac{1}{2}

Three freinds each have some ribbon. carol has 42 inches of ribbon, tino has 2.5 feet of ribbon, and baxter has 1.5 yards of rib
s344n2d4d5 [400]
Hi there! 3 feet = 1 yard, 12 inches = 1 foot and 36 inches = 1 yard. All we have to do is change them up into different units by doing a bit of multiplication, division, maybe mental math, and even proportions if you know how to do them. Regardless on what you do, if you do it correctly, here are what your answers should be for each unit.


Inches

Carol: 42 inches
Tino: 30 inches
Baxter: 54 inches

Feet:

Carol: 3.5 feet
Tino: 2.5 feet
Baxter: 4.5 feet

Yards:

Carol: 1 1/6 yards
Tino: 5/6 yards
Baxter: 1 1/2 yards
