will Jerry need to fully cover all sides of the box?
To calculate the amount of wrapping paper Jerry will need, we need to find the surface area of the box.
The surface area of a rectangular box can be calculated using the formula:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
where l = length, w = width, and h = height.
Plugging in the values for Jerry's box, we get:
Surface Area = 2(17)(10) + 2(17)(4) + 2(10)(4)
Surface Area = 340 + 136 + 80
Surface Area = 556 square cm
Therefore, Jerry will need 556 square cm of wrapping paper to fully cover all sides of the box.
