Anton wants to wrap a present in a box with the dimensions of 10 cm wide, 4 cm high, and 17 cm long. How much wrapping paper will Anton need to wrap the present? (SA= 2(lw + lh + wh) )

Question

A. 680 cm²

B. 68 cm²

C. 556 cm²

D. 5560 cm²

Answer 1

First, calculate the surface area of the box using the formula for surface area: SA = 2(lw + lh + wh)

SA = 2(17*10 + 17*4 + 10*4)
SA = 2(170 + 68 + 40)
SA = 2(278)
SA = 556 cm²

Therefore, Anton will need 556 cm² of wrapping paper to wrap the present.

The correct answer is C. 556 cm².
