Question

Justin wanted to wrap his moms birthday present shaped like a rectangular prism with pretty paper. The box is 2.1 feet long, 2.7 feet wide, And 3.2 feet high. What is the total surface area of the box?

Answer 1

Answer:

42.06 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

          2 sides = 2(2.7 ft × 3.2 ft) = 2 × 8.64 ft² =   17.28 ft²

 Front + back =  2(2.1 ft × 3.2 ft) = 2 × 6.72 ft² =   13.44 ft²

Top + bottom =   2(2.1 ft × 2.7 ft) = 2 × 5.67 ft² =   11.34 ft²

                                                         Total area = 42.06 ft²
