Answer 1

Answer:

638 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you need to cover just the surface area of the box with no overlaps, and the shape is a rectangular prism, then you need to find the surface area of a rectangular prism.

SA = PH + 2LW

where

P = perimeter of base = 2(L + W),

H = height of prism

L = length of base

W = width of base

SA = 2(16 + 7)(9) + 2(16)(7)

SA = 638
