Question

the figure below is a net for the box to the right. what is the surface area of the box? 1.5 feet lid 1.5 feet 2 feet 2 feet 1.5 feet 1.5 feet bottom 1.5 feet 2 feet 2 feet 4 feet 4 feet 24 square feet 33 square feet 12 square feet 34 square feet

Explanation:

Step1: Identify box dimensions

Length $l = 4$ feet, width $w=2$ feet, height $h = 1.5$ feet

Step2: Recall surface - area formula

$SA=2(lw + lh+wh)$

Step3: Substitute values

$SA = 2((4\times2)+(4\times1.5)+(2\times1.5))$
$SA = 2(8 + 6+3)$

Step4: Calculate result

$SA=2\times17=34$ square feet

Answer:

34 square feet
