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?
31
240
556
680
The formula to calculate the surface area of a rectangular box is 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
Plugging in the values, we get 2(17)(10) + 2(17)(4) + 2(10)(4) = 340 + 136 + 80 = 556.
Therefore, Jerry will need 556 cm^2 of wrapping paper to wrap the present.
So the answer is 556.
