To identify the area of one of the sections of the shoebox's net, we can look at the dimensions of the box and calculate the area of any one of its faces.

The shoebox has dimensions:

  • Length (l) = 104 cm
  • Width (w) = 72.5 cm
  • Height (h) = 47.5 cm

Let's calculate the area of one of the rectangular faces, for example, the face that is 72.5 cm (width) by 104 cm (length):

Area = length × width Area = 72.5 cm × 104 cm Area = 7,540 cm²

So, one area that would be identified on the box’s net is 7,540 cm².
