Question

I have to find the volume and the surface area of a cereal box.

12 inches tall
8 inches wide
please show all your work

Answer 1

12 in tall * 8 in wide = 96 in area. You need a third value to find a volume.

Answer 2

Volume: 8x1x12=96 inches^3

Surface area: 8x1x2=16

1x12x2=24

8x12x2=192

the total surface is: 16+24+192=232 inches^2
