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.
Box A has a square base 4 feet in length and 4 feet in width.
Box B has a square base 6 feet in length and 6 feet in width.
Then Area of A & B ? Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
