Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for calculating the surface area of the box S = 2(LW+LH+WH) where
L is the length of the box
W is the width of the box
H is the height of the box
If the box is square based with dimension 4 * 4in, then L = W = 4in. substituting this values given into the formula we will have;
S = 2(4(4)+4H + 4H)
S = 2(16+8H)
S = 32+16H
<em>Hence, The function that represents the surface area of this box as a
</em>
<em>function of its height is S = 32+16H where H is the height of the box</em>
<em></em>
Given H = 6.5in, to evaluate the function, we will substitute h = 6.5in into the modeled equation;
S = 32+16H
S = 32+16(6.5)
S = 32+106
<em>S = 138in²</em>
<em>Hence the total surface area of the box is 138in²</em>
