Beth has a wooden box. The inside of the box is 5 in. wide . 8 1/2 in. long, and 4 1/2 in. deep. The box has no top. Beth wants to line the box with felt to protect the items she puts in . How many in. square of felt will she need?

Respuesta :

(5)(4.5)(2) = 45 (short sides)
(8.5)(4.5)(2) = 76.5 (long sides)
(5)(8.5) = 42.5 (bottom)

Total inches required
45 + 76.5 + 42.5 = 164 inches sq
