The total minimum amount of wrapping paper (that is Total Surface Area) required to wrap the cuboid indicated is 285 in sq . This is arrived at by using the formula for the area of a cuboid.

What is a cuboid?

A cuboid is simply a 3-dimensional rectangle. It comprises of a length, Width, height, and six faces.

Step 1 - The formula for the Surface area of a cuboid is:

2(lw + wh + lh)

Where L = Lenhgt = 17.5in

W = Width = 10in; and

H = Height = 4in.

Step 2 - Plugging in our details into the formula, we have:

Surface Area (SA) = ((17.5*10) + (4*10) + (17.5*4))

Calculating the above simple arithmetic, we have

SA to be:  285 in sq.
