Accepted Solution
A:
For this case, the first thing you should do is calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism. The surface area in this case will be given by: A = 2 * ((w) * (l)) + 2 * ((h) * (l)) + 2 * ((h) * (w)) Where, h = high l = long w = wide Substituting the values we have A = 2 * ((50) * (90)) + 2 * ((3.5) * (90)) + 2 * ((3.5) * (50)) A = 9980 mm ^ 2 Answer Will's Wrapping Company needs 9,980 mm2 of paper to wrap the chocolate bar.
