    The answer to your question is 236 ft²

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Data

    height = 5 ft

    width = 6 ft

    length = 8 ft

    Area = ?

    Process

    I will consider that the crate is a rectangular prism which has 6 sides

    1. - Find the area of the sides that measure 8 x 6

    Area = 2 (8 x 6)

    = 2 (48)

    = 96 ft²

    2. - Find the area of the sides that measure 8 x 5

    Area = 2 (8 x 5)

    Area = 2 (40)

    Area = 80 ft²

    3. - Find the area of the sides that measure 6 x 5

    Area = 2 (6 x 5)

    Area = 2 (30)

    Area = 60

    4. - Find the total area

    Area = 96 + 80 + 60

    Area = 236 ft²

    5. - Conclusion

    She needs 236 ft² of paint
