Liam is decorating the outside of a box in the shape of the right rectangular prism. The figure below shows a net for the box. 7 cm 8 cm 7 cm 11 cm 7 cm and 7 cm what is the surface area of the box in square centimeters that Liam decorates?

Answer 1

To find the surface area of the box, we need to find the area of each face and then add them up.

The box has 6 faces:
1. The front face: 7 cm x 8 cm = 56 sq cm
2. The back face: 7 cm x 8 cm = 56 sq cm
3. The top face: 7 cm x 11 cm = 77 sq cm
4. The bottom face: 7 cm x 11 cm = 77 sq cm
5. The left side face: 7 cm x 7 cm = 49 sq cm
6. The right side face: 7 cm x 7 cm = 49 sq cm

Now, add all the areas together:
56 + 56 + 77 + 77 + 49 + 49 = 364 sq cm

Therefore, the surface area of the box that Liam decorates is 364 square centimeters.
