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?
surface area = __ cm squared

1 answer

Surface area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
= 2(10)(17) + 2(10)(4) + 2(17)(4)
= 340 + 80 + 136
= 556 cm squared

Jerry will need 556 cm squared of wrapping paper.
