A student plans to paint this box. Each of the sides is a square. The sides of the square each measure 6.5 in in length. What is the surface area of this shape? Show your work. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

The total surface area of the given shape is = 253.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Side of the square = 6.5 in

We know that area of the square is given by the equation

⇒ A =

Put the value of a in above equation we get

⇒ A = 6.5 × 6.5

⇒ A = 42.25

We know that the given shape has 6 surfaces so total surface area of the given shape is given by

⇒ = 6 × 42.25

⇒ = 253.5

Therefore the total surface area of the given shape is = 253.5

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
