To calculate the surface area of the box, we can use the formula:
SA = 2(lw + lh + wh)
Given:
l = 17 cm (length)
w = 10 cm (width)
h = 4 cm (height)
Substitute the values into the formula:
SA = 2(17*10 + 17*4 + 10*4)
SA = 2(170 + 68 + 40)
SA = 2(278)
SA = 556 cm^2
Therefore, Anton will need 556 cm^2 of wrapping paper to wrap the present.
Answer: 556 cm2
