You should find the  area to be covered on the pencil box (not including the top)
lw+2wh+2lh
Then find the area of the square sheet of paper A= s^2
Subtract the sum of the area on the pencil from the area of the sheet of paper

lw+2wh+2lh
(5)3)+2(3)6)+2(5)6)=111
But I don't know how to find the second part
