A box needs to be decorated to use as a prop in a play. The bottom and the back of the box do not need to be decorated.

To find the surface area of the box that needs to be decorated, we need to exclude the bottom and the back of the box from the total surface area.

Let's assume the total surface area of the box is A.
The bottom of the box has an area equal to the length times the width, which we'll denote as lw.
The back of the box, which we assume is a rectangle, has an area equal to the length times the height, which we'll denote as lh.

The surface area that needs to be decorated can be found by subtracting the area of the bottom and the back from the total surface area:
A - lw - lh

Without knowing the dimensions of the box (i.e., the length, width, and height), we cannot calculate the specific surface area that needs to be decorated.

Therefore, the answer cannot be determined with the information given.
