Answer:  70 ft^2   ( choice D )

=========================================================

Work Shown:

  • L = 8 ft = length
  • W = 3 ft = width
  • H = 1 ft = height

SA = surface area of the rectangular prism (aka block or box)

SA = 2*(LW + LH + WH)

SA = 2*(8*3 + 8*1 + 3*1)

SA = 2*(24 + 8 + 3)

SA = 2*(35)

SA = 70 square feet

This is the amount of wrapping paper you would need to cover all six sides of the box. This assumes that there are no gaps or overlaps.
