what is the surface area of the box? 1.5 m by 3 m by 4 m

1 answer

The surface area of the box can be calculated by finding the area of each of its six sides and adding them together.

The box has two sides that measure 1.5m by 3m, so the area of these two sides is 2 * (1.5 * 3) = 9 square meters.

The box also has two sides that measure 1.5m by 4m, so the area of these two sides is 2 * (1.5 * 4) = 12 square meters.

Finally, the box has two sides that measure 3m by 4m, so the area of these two sides is 2 * (3 * 4) = 24 square meters.

Adding all the areas together, the surface area of the box is 9 + 12 + 24 = 45 square meters.

Therefore, the surface area of the box is 45 square meters.
