Taylor is wrapping a birthday gift in the rectangular box shown below. How much wrapping paper will Taylor use to wrap the gift?

To find how much wrapping paper Taylor needs, we can find the total surface area of the rectangular prism.
= 2(18)(9) + 2(18)(4) + 2(9)(4)
= 2(162) + 2(72) + 2(36)
= 324 + 144 + 72
= 540in.²
So, Taylor will need 540in.² of wrapping paper to wrap the gift.
Best of Luck!
Answer:
540 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
blue areas = 18 x 4 x 2 = 144 in²
red areas = 9 x 4 x 2 = 72 in²
yellow areas = 18 x 9 x 2 = 324 in²
324 + 144 + 72 = 540 in²
hope this helps ^-^
