Question

Luke is covering a box in chalk paint. If the box is 25 inches long, 13 inches wide, and 18 inches tall, what is the surface area of the box to be covered?

Answer 1

The answer is 2,018

Explanation:

the formula for finding the surface area is

SA=2LW+2LH+2HW

So we put in the numbers

L=25

W=13

H=18

SA= 2(25×13) + 2(25×18) + 2(18×13)

2 (25×13)= 650

2 (25×18)= 900

2 (18×13)= 468

650+900+468 = 2,018

Answer 2

2,018

Explanation:

If you use the formula A(s)=2(lw+wh+lh) you will get your answer for surface area
