Ok good! Look back at your picture ~ that's the dimensions of the FRONT of your box right? How many panels do we have with these dimensions.

The front and back panel yes?
So we'll have 2 panels with area 12.

Ok we're 1/3 of the way done.

We need to know the area of the other 4 panels.

But if we were looking straight at this object, it would be a rectangle. Can you determine the area of this one? :)
