Answer 2

Answer:

$92 inches^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The top and bottom of the box is 8 inches by 3 inches .

The sides are both 3 inches by 2 inches.

The front and back are 8 inches by 2 inches.

Refer the attached graph

So, Length of cuboid box is 8 inches

Width of cuboid box is 3 inches

Height of cuboid box is 2 inches

Now we are supposed to find  how much wrapping paper will be required to wrap the present.

Total surface area of cuboid box =$2(lw+wh+hl)$

                                                      =$2(8 \times 3+ 3 \times 2+ 2 \times 8)$

                                                      =$92 inches^2$

Hence $92 inches^2$ of wrapping paper is required.
