Jerry wants to wrap a present in a box for his mother. The box measures 10 cm wide, 4 cm high, and 17 cm long. How much wrapping paper will Jerry need to wrap the present?

Question

Surface area = __ cm²

Answer 1

Surface area = 2(10*4) + 2(10*17) + 2(4*17)
Surface area = 80 + 340 + 136
Surface area = 556 cm²

Jerry will need 556 cm² of wrapping paper.
