How many square inches of wrapping paper are needed to completely wrap a gift box with dimensions 14 inches long, 8 inches high, and 6 inches wide?

The correct answer is: 488

To find the amount of wrapping paper required to completely wrap a gift box, you need to calculate the surface area of the box. The surface area $ S $ of a rectangular prism (or box) can be found using the formula: \[ S = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh \] where $ l $ is the length, $ w $ is the width, and $ h $ is the height of the box. Given the dimensions of the gift box: - Length $ l = 14 $ inches - Width $ w = 6 $ inches - Height $ h = 8 $ inches You can substitute these values into the surface area formula: 1. Calculate $ 2lw $: \[ 2 \times 14 \times 6 = 168 \] 2. Calculate $ 2lh $: \[ 2 \times 14 \times 8 = 224 \] 3. Calculate $ 2wh $: \[ 2 \times 6 \times 8 = 96 \] Now, add all these values together to find the total surface area
