Amount of gift wrap to cover the entire box = total surface area of rectangular box = 1,048 in.².

What is the Total Surface Area of a Rectangular Box?

The total surface area of a rectangular box is the area of all the faces of the box = 2(wl + hl + hw).

Therefore, to find the material that will cover the whole rectangular box, Demarcus should find its total surface area, given the following dimensions:

  • l = 20 in.
  • w = 8 in.
  • h = 13 in.

Plug in the values into TSA = 2(wl + hl + hw):

Total surface area of rectangular box = 2(8×20 + 13×20 + 13×8) = 1,048 in.²
