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

The amount of paper wrapped is 346 inch^2

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* 5+5* 13+13* 6)`

`SA=346inch^2`
