Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of shoe box = l = 11 inches

Width of the shoes box = w = 6 inches

Height of the shoe box = h = 5 inches

Wrapping paper required t cover the shoe box will be equal to the total surface area of the shoe box.

Shoe box = Cuboid

Total surface area of the cuboid = 2(lw+wh+hl)

Total surface area of shoe box : T

[tex]T=2\times (11 inch\times 6 inch+6 inch\times 5 inch+5 inch\times 11 inch)[/tex]

[tex]=T = 302 inch^2[/tex]

Frank will need 302 square inches of wrapping paper to cover the shoe box.
