Question

A cereal box is 19 centimeters long, 6 centimeters wide and 28 centimeters high. An artist is trying to create a design for the box. What is the surface area the artist needs to cover?

Answer 1

Surface area = Lateral area + Area of the base
Surface area = Perimeter of the base x high + 19 x 6
Surface area = (19+19+6+6) x 28 + 114
Surface area = 50 x 28 + 114
Surface area = 1544 centimeter square
