Question

Tiana needs to wrap 2 gifts with no overlap. The boxes are shaped as right rectangular prisms. The length of each box is 22.2 in, the width is 4.8 in, and the height is 14 in. How much wrapping paper does Tiana need to buy? Round to the nearest hundredth. Leave out units.

Answer 1

Answer: Tiana needs to buy 560.64 in. of wrapping paper

Step-by-step explanation: Long sides:

length times width=area

22.2*4.8=106.56

times the number of similar sides

106.56*4=426.24

Short sides:

height times width=area

4.8*14=67.2

times the number of similar sides

67.2*2=134.4

add seperate areas

426.24+134.4=560.64

round to nearest hundredth

560.64 stays the same because there is no thousandth place
