depth 7 in. Indira can cover up to 1,350 in.? with
5 cup of paint. Will she
need more than 5 cup of paint to cover the box? Explain how you know.

Sagot :

Considering the surface area of the rectangular box, it is found that since it is of 502 in² < 1,350 in², she will not need more than 5 cups of paint.

What is the surface area of a rectangular prism?

The surface area of a rectangular prism of length l, width w and depth d is given by:

S = 2(lw + ld + wd).

In this problem, we have that the dimensions, in inches, are given by l = 13, w = 8, d = 7. Hence, the surface area in in² is given by:

S = 2(13 x 8 + 13 x 7 + 8 x 7) = 502 in².

Since the surface area of the box is of 502 in² < 1,350 in², she will not need more than 5 cups of paint.
