To find the surface area, we need to calculate the area of each side and then add them up.

The formula to find the surface area of a rectangular prism is:

Surface area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Given:
Length = 8 inches
Height = 12 inches
Width = 2 inches

Substituting the values into the formula:

Surface area = 2(8)(12) + 2(8)(2) + 2(12)(2)
Surface area = 192 + 32 + 48
Surface area = 272 + 48
Surface area = 320

So, the surface area of the cereal box is 320 square inches.
