Blanca is going to use a box that is a rectangular prism for a card box at her son's birthday party she will wrap and decorate the Box the dimension of the Box are shown in the diagram 9.1 in 7 in 10.5 in what is the total surface area of the box and square inches
To find the total surface area of the box, we need to calculate the areas of all six faces and then sum them up.
The box has three pairs of opposite faces:
- The front and back faces: 9.1 in x 7 in = 63.7 square inches each
- The top and bottom faces: 9.1 in x 10.5 in = 95.55 square inches each
- The left and right faces: 7 in x 10.5 in = 73.5 square inches each
Now we add up the areas:
63.7 + 63.7 + 95.55 + 95.55 + 73.5 + 73.5 = 425.9 square inches
Therefore, the total surface area of the box is 425.9 square inches.
