To calculate the surface area of the plastic wrap needed to enclose all the bottles, we need to find the surface area of each bottle first.
The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula: 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
For each bottle:
Length (l) = 6.75 inches
Width (w) = 4.5 inches
Height (h) = 12 inches
Surface Area = 2(6.75 * 4.5) + 2(6.75 * 12) + 2(4.5 * 12)
Surface Area = 60.75 + 162 + 108
Surface Area = 330.75 square inches
Now, we need to find the total surface area of all 24 bottles:
Total Surface Area = 24 * 330.75
Total Surface Area = 7,938 square inches
Therefore, 7,938 square inches of plastic wrap is needed to enclose all the bottles.
mon placed twenty-four 16.9 oz water bottles on a table to be wrapped together in plastic. The bottles are arranged to measure 4.5 inches in width, 6.75 inches in length, and 1 foot in height. How much plastic wrap is needed to enclose all of the bottles? Write your answer in decimal form. (Hint: the answer should be in inches) (1 point) Surface Area = square inches
