To find the surface area of the box, we need to calculate the area of each face and then add them all together.
- The top and bottom faces have dimensions of 10 cm by 17 cm, so each has an area of 10 cm * 17 cm = 170 cm^2.
- The two side faces have dimensions of 10 cm by 4 cm, so each has an area of 10 cm * 4 cm = 40 cm^2.
- The front and back faces have dimensions of 17 cm by 4 cm, so each has an area of 17 cm * 4 cm = 68 cm^2.
Adding all the areas together, we get:
170 cm^2 + 170 cm^2 + 40 cm^2 + 40 cm^2 + 68 cm^2 + 68 cm^2 = 556 cm^2
Therefore, Jerry will need 556 cm^2 of wrapping paper to wrap the present.
