A student covers the outside of a show box with construction paper. If the student does not cover the lid, what is the surface area that is covered?
Please show work.
Possible answers:
A) 982.25
B) 1433.50
C) 1964.50
D) 5044.50
Shoe box***
What are the dimensions of the shoe box?
Oh whoops xD
The height is 9.5 cm, the width is 18.0 cm and the length is 29.5 cm.
18 * 29.5 = bottom
2(29.5 * 9.5) = two sides
2(18.0 * 9.5) = two sides
Add the products together for your answer.
Thank you! :)
You're welcome.
To find the surface area of the shoebox that is covered with construction paper, we need to calculate the surface area of each side of the box, excluding the lid.
A shoebox has six sides:
1. Top (lid, not covered in this case)
2. Bottom
3. Front
4. Back
5. Left side
6. Right side
Since the lid is not covered, we need to find the surface area of the other five sides.
First, we need to know the dimensions of the shoebox. Let's say the length of the shoebox is L, the width is W, and the height is H.
1. Top (lid): Since it's not covered, we don't include this in our calculation.
2. Bottom: The surface area of the bottom side is simply L x W.
3. Front: The surface area of the front side is H x W.
4. Back: The surface area of the back side is H x W.
5. Left side: The surface area of the left side is L x H.
6. Right side: The surface area of the right side is L x H.
Now let's substitute the values into the equations:
Surface area of the bottom: L x W
Surface area of the front: H x W
Surface area of the back: H x W
Surface area of the left side: L x H
Surface area of the right side: L x H
To find the surface area covered, we add up the surface area of each side:
Surface area covered = Surface area of the bottom + Surface area of the front + Surface area of the back + Surface area of the left side + Surface area of the right side
Surface area covered = L x W + H x W + H x W + L x H + L x H
= 2LW + 2HW + LH
Now, we need to substitute the given dimensions (if provided) into the equation and calculate the answer.
Without the specific dimensions, it is not possible to determine the actual value for the surface area covered. Therefore, we cannot determine the correct answer, and none of the given options (A, B, C, or D) can be confidently chosen without the shoebox dimensions.
