jason is wrapping a gift.The box he is using is a rectangular prism with a length of 20 inches a width 12 inches and a height of 5 inches.Find how many square inches of paper does he need to wrap the intire box?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area of rectangular prism:
length = l = 20 in
width = w = 12 in
height = h = 5 in
[tex]\boxed{\text{surface area of rectangular prism = 2*[lw + wh + hl]}}[/tex]
= 2* [ 20*12 + 12*5 + 5*20]
= 2* [240 + 60 + 100]
= 2 * 400
= 800 in²
