Question

Catherine’s mother is wrapping a box that is 12 in long x 8 in wide x 10 in high. How many square inches of wrapping paper will Catherine need to cover the box?

Answer 1

This is asking for the surface area of a rectangular prism.

Use the surface area formula for a prism:
2(Area of Base)+ (height)( perimeter of base)

you should get 592 in squared.
