Without seeing the net of the shoebox, it is impossible to identify one specific area. All four options represent different areas that could appear on the net depending on how the shoebox is flattened out.
but they give you the dimensions, you can just calculate the surface area.
You are right, my apologies. The surface area calculation of the shoebox is:
2(72.5 cm x 47.5 cm) + 2(47.5 cm x 104 cm) + 2(72.5 cm x 104 cm) = 3,942.5 cm² + 9,860 cm² + 7,570 cm² = 21,372.5 cm²
Therefore, the correct answer is not one of the options provided.
2(72.5 cm x 47.5 cm) + 2(47.5 cm x 104 cm) + 2(72.5 cm x 104 cm) = 3,942.5 cm² + 9,860 cm² + 7,570 cm² = 21,372.5 cm²
Therefore, the correct answer is not one of the options provided.
