victor wrapped this gift box with adhesive paper with no overlaps how much paper did he use class=

Respuesta :

The formula for surface area of a rectangular prism is 2(length x width) + 2(width x height) + 2(length x height). Plug in the values:

2(8 x 6) + 2(6 x 5) + 2(8 x 5)

Solve:
2(48) + 2(30) + 2(40)

96 + 60 + 80

236

Since its area, it is in cubic inches.

The answer is 236 cubic inches.

Answer:

236 inch² paper  victor needs to use to wrap the given gift box.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A gift with given dimensions.

We have to find how much paper did victor uses to wrap this gift box.

Consider the given gift wrap,

Length = 8  inch

Width = 6 inch

and height = 5 inch

Since, gift wrap covers the external area of the box

So, We find the total  surface area of the box.

Box is in shape of cuboid

Total surface area of cuboid = 2(h × W) + 2(h × L) + 2(W × L)

Where, L is length , W is width and h is height

Thus,

Total surface area of Box  = 2(5 × 6) + 2(5 × 8) + 2(6 × 8)

= 2( 30 + 40 + 48)

= 2(118)

= 236 inch²

Thus, 236 inch² paper  victor needs to use to wrap the given gift box.
