To find the amount of wrapping paper needed to wrap the gift box, we need to calculate the surface area of the box.
The surface area of a rectangular box can be found using the formula:
Surface area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Where l, w, and h are the length, width, and height of the box.
Plugging in the given values, we get:
Surface area = 2(12 x 8) + 2(12 x 2) + 2(8 x 2)
Surface area = 192 + 48 + 32
Surface area = 272 square inches
Therefore, you will need 272 square inches of wrapping paper to wrap the gift box.
