Amy needs 640 square inches of cardboard to make the pizza box.

Solución

The box is a rectangular prism (cube with different dimensions) with a square base and a top. To use the cardboard needed for the box, we must cover all six faces: the top, the bottom, and the four sides. 1. The area of the square base (and also the top) is \[ 16 \times 16 = 256 \text{ in}^2. \] 2. Thus, the total area for both the top and the bottom is \[ 2 \times 256 = 512 \text{ in}^2. \] 3. Each side is a rectangle with a height of 2 inches and a width of 16 inches, so the area of one side is \[ 16 \times 2 = 32 \text{ in}^2. \] 4. There are four such sides, so their total area is \[ 4 \times 32 = 128 \text{ in}^2. \] 5. Adding these areas together gives the total amount of cardboard required: \[ 512 + 128 = 640 \text{ in}^2. \] Therefore, Amy will need \(\boxed{640 \text{ square inches}}\) of cardboard to make the pizza box.

Beyond the Answer

To figure out how much cardboard Amy will need to make the pizza box, we need to calculate the surface area of the box. The box has a square base and four sides, plus a top. The formula for the surface area of a rectangular box is: Surface Area = 2(lw + lh + wh). Substituting in Amy's measurements, we find that the surface area is 2(16*16 + 16*2 + 16*2), which gives us a total of 640 square inches. So, that's how much cardboard she'll need to craft her delicious holder! Now, speaking of pizza, if you ever find yourself pulling a pizza out of a hot oven, remember this nifty trick: use a spatula to slide it off the tray and onto your cutting board safely. It not only saves your hands from burns but also keeps the pizza intact for that perfect slice! Always have your tools ready for a smooth pizza night. 🍕
