Answer 7

Answer 9

You want to find the surface area of the box - since you're covering the box in wrapping paper.

How do you find the surface area of one side? length x width, and you need to do that for each side.

Answer 10

it's not a square because the sides are not equal.

Answer 11

oh
240 in^3?

Answer 12

i mean 120

Answer 13

(area of front) x 2 + (area of side) x 2 + (area of bottom) x 2 = total area

Answer 15

Oh. I dislike surface area. anyway, lemme try. one sec.

Answer 19

what would the formula be?

Answer 20

(area of front) x 2 + (area of side) x 2 + (area of bottom) x 2 = total area

area of front = 4 x 5 inches^2

Answer 21

area = length x width. just the two sides.

Answer 28

Make sure you keep track of your numbers so you can get the total area:
(area of front) x 2 + (area of side) x 2 + (area of bottom) x 2 = total area

you have area of front = 4 x 5 inches^2
area of side = 6 x 4 inches^2
area of bottom or top = ?
