Answer:
232.57 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the lateral surface area of the package in square inches is shown below;
Let us assume the area of cube is a
Given that
a = [tex]7 \frac{5}{8}\ in^2[/tex]
As we know that in a cube there is a four faces so the lateral surface area would be
[tex]= 4a^2\\\\=4\times 7\frac{5}{8} ^2\\\\= 4\times (\frac{61}{8})^2\\\\= 4\times \frac{3721}{64} \\\\= 232.57[/tex]
= 232.57 square inches
