First try to break it down into an easier way of the same question.
E.G: the minimum amount of cardboard that you need to make a box with dimensions 10cm X 12cm X 17cm.
to work this out, you need to find the surface area of this.
2(10 X 12) + 2(12 X 17) + 2(10 X 17)
= 240+408+680
= 1328.
don't forget the unit of measurement.
Answer= 1328cm%5E2
