    The answer to your question is 13 sheets.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Data

    Dimensions of the TV Dimensions wrapping paper

    56 in x 8 in x 36 in 26 in x 17 in

    Process

    1. - Calculate the total area of the TV

    Area 1 = 56 x 8 x 2 = 896 in²

    Area 2 = 36 x 8 x 2 = 576 in²

    Area 3 = 56 x 36 x 2 = 4032 in²

    Total area = 5504 in²

    2. - Calculate the area of the wrapping paper

    Area 4 = 26 x 17 = 442 in²

    3. - Divide the area of the TV by the area of the wrapping paper

    Number of sheets = 5504 / 442

    = 12.5 ≈ 13 sheets of wrapping paper
