What is Wrapping Paper Size?

Wrapping paper size refers to the total area of the paper needed to cover or wrap an object, typically a box. It is important to calculate the correct size to ensure that the paper completely covers the item without excessive waste. The size of the wrapping paper is usually measured in square inches or square feet, depending on the size of the object being wrapped.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate Wrapping Paper Size:

\[ PS = 2 \times (10 \times 5 + 5 \times 4 + 4 \times 10) = 2 \times (50 + 20 + 40) = 2 \times 110 = 220 \, \text{square inches} \]

This means that you would need 220 square inches of wrapping paper to cover the box.
