C. If Stephanie was short of wrapping paper, how much more did she need? If Stephanie had enough wrapping paper, how much of the ten feet was left over?

Complete question :

Stephanie has six identical gift boxes to wrap. Each box is a cube that measures 6 inches on each side. She would like to wrap them all using the same gift wrapping paper. The roll of wrapping paper she has is 30 inches wide and 10 feet long.

Left over = 2292 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Gift boxes are identical ;

Each gift box is a cube with side length, s = 6 inches

Area of gift box, Surface area of a cube = 6s²

Area = 6(6²) = 6 * 36 = 216 in²

Area of one gift box = 216 in²

6 gift boxes will be : 216 in² * 6 = 1296 in²

Allowing 2 inches to cover for overlap in each box : 2 inches * 6 = 12 in²

Dimension of wrapping paper = 30 inches by 10 feets

Recall :

1 Feet = 12 inches

Hence ; dimension of wrapping paper becomes :

30 inches by (10*12) inches

30 inches by 120 inches

Area of wrapping paper = 30 * 120 = 3600 in²

Total area of paper - area of gifbox - area of overlap

(3600 - 1296 - 12) in²

= 2292 in²

Leftover = 2292 in²
