A box needs to be decorated to use as a prop in a play. The bottom and the back of the box do not need to be decorated. What is the surface area of the box that needs to be decorated? (1 point) Responses 67 cm2 67 cm squared 2,960 cm2 2,960 cm squared 1,880 cm2 1,880 cm squared 1,080 cm
To find the surface area of the box that needs to be decorated, we need to calculate the area of the front, top, and sides of the box.
The front of the box is a rectangle, so its area is given by multiplying the length and width. Let's say the length is L and the width is W.
The area of the front is L * W.
The top of the box is also a rectangle, so its area is given by multiplying the length and width. Let's say the length is L and the width is W.
The area of the top is L * W.
The sides of the box are rectangles as well, and all four sides have the same dimensions. So, there are two pairs of sides with the same area. Let's say the length is L and the height is H.
The area of the sides is 2 * L * H.
Adding up the areas of the front, top, and sides, we get:
L * W + L * W + 2 * L * H = 2 * (L * W + L * H)
Since we are given that the bottom and back of the box do not need to be decorated, the surface area of the box that needs to be decorated is 2 * (L * W + L * H).
Without any specific measurements for the length, width, and height of the box, we cannot determine the exact surface area that needs to be decorated. Therefore, none of the provided response options are correct.
