The minimum amount of cloth carl needs to cover the entire box will be 188 square inches.

What is a surface area?

The space occupied by any two-dimensional figure in a plane is called the area. The area of the outer surface of any object is called the surface area.

Given that:-

• The length width and the height of the prism are 5 , 2 , and 12 inches respectively.

The minimum amount of cloth carl needs to cover the entire box will be the surface area of the prism

Surface area = 2 [ (5 x 2)+ (12 x 5) + (12 x 2)]  

Surface area= 188 square inches

Therefore the minimum amount of cloth carl needs to cover the entire box will be 188 square inches.
