anton wants to wrap a present in a box with the dimensions of 10 cm wide, 4 cm high, and 17 cm lon. How much wrapping paper will anton need to wrap the present? (SA= 2(IW +lh+ wh)
First, calculate the surface area of the box using the formula for the total surface area of a rectangular prism:
SA = 2(lw + lh + wh)
SA = 2(10x4 + 10x17 + 4x17)
SA = 2(40 + 170 + 68)
SA = 2(278)
SA = 556 cm^2
So, Anton will need 556 cm^2 of wrapping paper to wrap the present.
