To find the amount of cardboard used to make the juice box, we need to calculate the surface area of the box.
The box has 6 surfaces:
- The front and back are both 4 inches by 2 inches = 8 square inches each.
- The top and bottom are both 4 inches by 1 inch = 4 square inches each.
- The sides are both 2 inches by 1 inch = 2 square inches each.
Adding all these surfaces together, we get:
8 + 8 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 28 square inches
Therefore, 28 square inches of cardboard was used to make this juice box.
