By finding the surface area of the box, we can see that the cost to cover the box is $285

How much will cost to cover the box?

We assume that we need to cover the 6 faces of the box, then we need to find the total surface area.

The surface area is given as:

S = 2( B*H + H*W + B*W)

Where:

  • B = base = 7ft
  • H = height = 9ft
  • W = width = 2ft

Then the surface area is:

S = 2*(7ft*9ft + 7ft*2ft + 9ft*2ft) = 190ft^2

Now we know that the paper costs $1.50 per square foot, then the cost to cover the box is:

cost =  190*$1.50 = $285
