Indira is wrapping the box with a length of 8 in. , a width of 6 in. , and height of 3 in. How much wrapping paper does she need?

2*8*6 + 2*3*6 + 2*3*8 = 180 in^2

How much she needs to buy depends on the width of the roll and how much overlap she uses during the wrapping.

To find out how much wrapping paper Indira needs, we first need to calculate the surface area of the box. The surface area of a box is the sum of the areas of all of its six sides.

The formula to find the surface area of a rectangular box is:
Surface area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Given the dimensions of the box:
Length = 8 inches
Width = 6 inches
Height = 3 inches

Now we can substitute these values into the formula:

Surface area = 2 * 8 * 6 + 2 * 8 * 3 + 2 * 6 * 3

Simplifying the equation:

Surface area = 96 + 48 + 36

Surface area = 180 square inches

Therefore, Indira needs 180 square inches of wrapping paper to wrap the box.

LeAnn wants to giftwrap a present she got for her little brother. How many square inches of giftwrap will be needed to cover a box that is 8in x 6in x 6in?
