Answer:
601 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the amount of wrapping needed to cover the cube shaped gift box, including the bow
Area of bow = 115 in²
Surface area of cube shaped box = 6a²
a = side length of cube = 9
Hence,
Surface area of gift box = 6 * 9²
Surface area = 6 * 81 = 486 in²
Total wrapping required = area of gift box + area of bow = (486 in² + 115 in²) = 601 in²
