Question

casho wraps a gift box in the shape of a cube the figure below shows a net for the gift box how much wrapping paper to use in square inches
one side is 6.3

Answer 1

To find the total amount of wrapping paper needed for the cube-shaped gift box, we need to calculate the surface area of the net shown in the figure.

The net consists of 5 squares, each with a side length of 6.3 inches. To find the total amount of wrapping paper needed, we first need to find the area of one square and then multiply it by 5 to account for all 5 squares in the net.

Area of one square = (side length)^2
Area of one square = (6.3 inches)^2
Area of one square = 39.69 square inches

Total amount of wrapping paper needed = 5 * Area of one square
Total amount of wrapping paper needed = 5 * 39.69 square inches
Total amount of wrapping paper needed = 198.45 square inches

Therefore, Casho will need 198.45 square inches of wrapping paper to wrap the gift box in the shape of a cube.
