To calculate the amount of wrapping paper Jerry will need, we need to find the surface area of the rectangular prism.
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Plugging in the measurements:
Surface Area = 2(10)(17) + 2(10)(4) + 2(17)(4)
Surface Area = 340 + 80 + 136
Surface Area = 556 square centimeters
Jerry will need 556 square centimeters of wrapping paper to wrap the present.
