To find the surface area of the cereal box, you need to calculate the area of each of its sides. The cereal box has three dimensions: height, width, and depth. Let's calculate the area of each side.
1. Side 1: To calculate the area of the first side, you need to multiply the height by the width. In this case, the height is 12 inches and the width is 8 inches.
Side 1 area = height * width
= 12 in * 8 in
= 96 square inches
So, the area of Side 1 is 96 square inches.
2. Side 2: The second side of the box has the same dimensions as Side 1 since it is opposite in shape. Therefore, the area of Side 2 will also be 96 square inches.
3. Side 3: To calculate the area of the third side, you need to multiply the height by the depth. In this case, the height is 12 inches and the depth is 2 inches.
Side 3 area = height * depth
= 12 in * 2 in
= 24 square inches
So, the area of Side 3 is 24 square inches.
Now, to find the surface area of the original box, you add up the areas of all three sides:
Surface area = Side 1 area + Side 2 area + Side 3 area
= 96 square inches + 96 square inches + 24 square inches
= 216 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the original cereal box is 216 square inches.
impatient much? It's only been 4 minutes and you're reposting already?
Have you actually tried to solve it while waiting?
The area consists of 3 pairs of rectangles. Surely you know how to find the area of a rectangle. Pick up any box and look at it.
So if the dimensions are x,y,z, the area is
2(xy + xz + yz)
So now just plug in your numbers.
