Bryan is wrapping a birthday gift in the rectangular box
shown below. He wants to cut just one rectangular piece
of wrapping paper to cover the box.
7 in
13 in and 4in
What is the area of the smallest piece of paper that Bryan
can use the wrap the gift?

Given:

Dimension of box is 7 in, 13 in and 4 in.

To find:

Area of the smallest piece of paper

Solution:

Area of the rectangular box = length × width × height

                                               = 7 × 13 × 4

Area of the rectangular box = 364 in³

Area of the rectangular box = Area of the gift paper to wrap the box

Therefore the area of the smallest piece of paper is 364 in³.

answer: h=5.6 i don't really know how to put into words, so i though i would let you do that. i hope i was able to some

step-by-step explanation:

18 = 6(h)+1/2

18 = 6h+1/2

18-1 = 6h/2

17 = 3h

17/3 = h

h = 5.6
