To find the surface area of the rectangular prism, first calculate the area of each side and then add them together.
1. There are two sides that measure 17 cm by 10 cm:
2 * (17 cm * 10 cm) = 340 cm2
2. There are two sides that measure 17 cm by 4 cm:
2 * (17 cm * 4 cm) = 136 cm2
3. There are two sides that measure 10 cm by 4 cm:
2 * (10 cm * 4 cm) = 80 cm2
Now, add all these areas together to find the total surface area:
340 cm2 + 136 cm2 + 80 cm2 = 556 cm2
Therefore, Jerry will need 556 cm2 of wrapping paper to wrap the present.
Question
