Question 1043769
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^2}}}
