Question

5 the dimensions of a box designed to hold a mirror or picture frame measures 37 inches by 4 inches by 27 inches. what is the surface area of the box? use the formula sa = 2(lw + lh + hw). a. 1,255 square inches b. 2,254 square inches c. 2,510 square inches d. 7,992 square inches

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute the values into the formula

Given \(l = 37\), \(w = 4\), \(h = 27\).
First, calculate \(lw\), \(lh\), and \(hw\):
\(lw=37\times4 = 148\)
\(lh=37\times27=999\)
\(hw = 27\times4=108\)

Step2: Calculate the sum inside the parentheses

\(lw+lh+hw=148 + 999+108=1255\)

Step3: Multiply by 2

\(SA = 2\times1255=2510\)

Answer:

C. 2,510 square inches
