Question

If the surface area of the box of cereal is 272 inches squared, find the length of the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

you left out the other lengths but since i had this same question once, the other lengths are 12 and 2-

dimensions of the box:

12 in x 2 in x ?

=272 square inches

and we know that there are 6 faces

area=  2 *(12 * 2) + 2 *(2*x) + 2 *(12*x)

area = 272 sq. in.  = 48 + 4x + 24x

272 = 48 + 28x

272 - 48 = 28x

224 = 28x

x = 8 inches

good luck :)

i hope this helps
