Answer:
Will’s Wrapping Company needs 7,720 mm2 of paper to wrap the chocolate bar.
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The amount of paper needed to make the wrapper is equal to the surface area of the chocolate bar
The surface area of a rectangular prism (chocolate bar) is equal to
[tex]SA=2B+PH[/tex]
where
B is the area of the base
P is the perimeter of the base
H is the height of he prism
In this problem we have
[tex]L=80\ mm\\W=5\frac{1}{2}\ mm=5.5\ mm\\H=40\ mm[/tex]
Find the area of the base
[tex]B=LW=(80)(5.5)=440\ mm^2[/tex]
Find the perimeter of the base
[tex]P=2(L+W)=2(80+5.5)=171\ mm[/tex]
Find the surface area
[tex]SA=2(440)+171(40)\\SA=7,720\ mm^2[/tex]
