How much gift wrap is needed to cover a box which measures 3 feet by 2 feet by 3 feet?

step by step pls

Answer 1

42 square feet

Explanation:

surface area = 2(length)(width) + 2(length)(height) + 2(width)(height)

I am multiplying each of these by two because there are two sides that are the same.

surface area = 2(3)(2) + 2(3)(3) + 2(3)(2)

= 12 + 18 + 12

= 42 square feet
