Question 597281
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


There are six surfaces on a rectangular solid.  Two of them have a surface area of length times width, two have a surface area of lenghth times height, and two have a surface area of width times height.  The total surface area is the sum of those six areas, so:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ SA\ =\ 2lw\ +\ 2lh\ +\ 2wh]


Do the arithmetic.  Recognize that if she only has the amount you calculate, then there won't be any overlap of the paper -- in other words, this is a poorly constructed problem.
