 PLEASE HELP ASAP

        The bottom of a shopping bag measures 8 inches by 10 inches. The bag has a height of 12 inches. How much paper is needed to make the bag?

A.
256 in.2
B.
296 in.2
C.
512 in.2
D.
592 in.2

Answer 1

I think, the choice is D. 592 in 2
Area of the paper = 2(lb+b h+h l)
                             = 2(8 x 10 + 8 x 12 +10 x 12)
                             = 2(80 + 96 + 120)
                             = 2 x 296
                             = 592 in.2
