Anton wants to wrap a present in a box with the dimensions of 10 c wide, 2 cm high, and 17 cm long. How much wrapping paper will Anton need to wrap the present? (SA= 2(lw +h + wh) )
To find the surface area of the box, we will use the given dimensions to calculate the amount of wrapping paper needed.
Surface Area (SA) = 2(lw + h + wh)
Plugging in the values:
SA = 2(17*10 + 2*17 + 10*2)
SA = 2(170 + 34 + 20)
SA = 2(224)
SA = 448 cm²
Therefore, Anton will need 448 cm² of wrapping paper to wrap the present.
