Q. Gift Wrapping A gift box has the shape of a rectangular prism. How much wrapping paper do you need to cover the box?
Calculate Surface Area: To find the amount of wrapping paper needed, we need to calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism.
Define Dimensions: Let's say the length of the box is l cm, the width is w cm, and the height is h cm. The surface area (SA) of a rectangular prism is given by the formula: SA=2lw+2lh+2wh.
Unable to Proceed: We need the dimensions of the box to proceed, but they are not provided in the problem. Without the dimensions, we cannot calculate the surface area.
