Question

How much wrapping paper do you need to cover a gift box in the shape of a rectangular prism with the dimensions of 6 inches by 5 inches by 13 inches

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of paper wrapped is 346 inch^2

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given rectangular prism

length=l=6 inches

width=w=5 inches

height=h=13 inches

now, we can use surface area formula

$SA=2(lw+wh+hl)$

now, we can plug values

and we get

$SA=2(6\times 5+5\times 13+13\times 6)$

$SA=346inch^2$
