Question 1093030: Rectangular boxes A and B were constructed using exactly 96 square feet of plywood apiece. Assume that the plywood is sufficiently thin that overlap of materials in the construction of the boxes can be ignored.

I don't think you have posted the problem the way you intended. As it is, you say each box uses 96 square feet of plywood; and then you ask for the total area of the two boxes.

Well... 96 square feet each means 2*96=192 for the area of the two boxes together.

So re-post the problem stating it correctly....
