use a net to find the lateral area and the total surface area of the cereal box.

side 12 inches
length 8 in
width 2 inches

what is lateral area:
what is surface area:

Respuesta :

Surface area:
 
The surface area is given by:
 A = 2 * ((s) * (l)) + 2 * ((l) * (w)) + 2 * ((w) * (s))
 Where,
 s: side
 w: with
 l: length
 Substituting values:
 A = 2 * ((12) * (8)) + 2 * ((8) * (2)) + 2 * ((2) * (12))
 A = 272 in ^ 2
 Lateral area:
 
The lateral area is given by:
 A = 2 * ((s) * (l)) + 2 * ((w) * (s))
 Where,
 s: side
 w: with
 l: length
 Substituting values:
 A = 2 * ((12) * (8)) + 2 * ((2) * (12))
 A = 240 in ^ 2
 Answer:
 lateral area: 240 in ^ 2
 
surface area: 272 in ^ 2

Answer:

the surface area is 384 inches
