The formula that would likely be used in this scenario is the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
where:
l = length of the box
w = width of the box
h = height of the box
This formula calculates the total surface area of the box that needs to be covered with wrapping paper.
If you see a question discussing using wrapping paper to wrap a box, which formula would you use?
