A box that is 2 inches x2 inches x2inches x2 inches.how much material do I need to cover box

You need to find the surface area of the box (which I assume is a cube).

The area of one side: 2 x 2 inches = ? inches square
Then multiply the previous answer by the number of sides: 6 (with lid) or 5 (without lid)
This should give you your answer.
Good luck!
