The total amount of wrapping paper needed can be calculated by finding the area of each side of the box and then adding them all up.
Top and bottom side: 17 cm x 10 cm = 170 square cm x 2 = 340 square cm
Side: 17 cm x 4 cm = 68 square cm x 2 = 136 square cm
Front and back side: 10 cm x 4 cm = 40 square cm x 2 = 80 square cm
Total wrapping paper needed = 340 cm + 136 cm + 80 cm = 556 square centimeters
Therefore, Jerry will need 556 square centimeters of wrapping paper to wrap the present.
