julie has a box that is 12 by 12 by 4. find the surface area of the open box with a base of that is 12 by 12 and open. find the surface area of the open box if the base was 12 by 4. Which box has more surface area
base is 12 by 12
Since the base is 12 by 12 it will have one surface area . there is no lid
surface area of box = 1*(12*12) +2(12*4)+2*(12*4)
=144+96+96
=336 sq. units

Since the base is 12 by 4 it will have one surface area . there is no lid
base = 12 by 4
1*(12*4)+2*(12*12)+2(12*4)
=48+288+96
= 432 sq. units
