Question

Gina is wrapping gifts for her daughter's birthday how many square inches of wrapping paper does Gina use to wrap a box 3 inches 8 inches tall 14 inches​

Answer 1

Answer:

you are looking for square inches of wrapping paper, you are looking for the surface area of the box. A three-dimensional box has a top and bottom that are the same size, a front and back that are the same size, and 2 sides that are the same size...or SA = 2(top/bottom area) + 2(front/back area) + 2(side/side area). Our equation fills in nicely like this:

SA = 2(6 * 14) + 2(6 * 8) + 2(14 * 8)

SA = 2(84) + 2(48) + 2(112)

SA = 168 + 96 + 224

SA = 488 square inches of paper to wrap the box.

hope this helps :]
