The answer would be 824 sq. Centimeters

Dracula · Answer 2

Length = 22 cm

width = 10 cm

height = 6 cm

Surface area of a rectangular prism (cheese box) = 2B + PH

Word form ⇒ 2 (Area of base) + (perimeter of base) (height)

Find the measurements needed for the formula.

Area of base = 22 * 10 = 220 cm²

Perimeter of base = 22 + 10 + 22 + 10 = 64 cm

Height = 22 cm

Plug these into the formula.

2 (220) + (64) (22) = 1,848

The SA of the cheese box is 1,848 cm².
