The surface area of the cereal box can be calculated by finding the area of each individual side and adding them together.
The formula for calculating the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given that the dimensions of the cereal box are 8 in. x 1.5 in. x 11 in:
Surface Area = 2(8*1.5) + 2(8*11) + 2(1.5*11)
Surface Area = 2(12) + 2(88) + 2(16.5)
Surface Area = 24 + 176 + 33
Surface Area = 233 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the cereal box is 233 square inches.
