what are the lateral area and the surface area of the box to the nearest whole numbers use the large 17 cm x 5 cm

OpenStudy (kohai):

Do you know what formulas you're going to use with these?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (kohai):

\[lateral = 2lh + 2wh\] \[surface = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh\] Where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height

OpenStudy (kohai):

Are you sure you have all of the dimensions here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is a 3.12cm

OpenStudy (kohai):

Okay. So, what are the numbers in order?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.12 cm 17 cm and 5 cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17 length 5 width and 3.12 height

OpenStudy (kohai):

Okay. So all you're going to do is plug those into the equation. \[lateral = 2lh + 2wh\] \[lateral = (2)(17)(3.2) + (2)(5)(3.2)\] Just like that :)

OpenStudy (kohai):

And you're going to do that with the surface area, as well
