Alexis ordered an ice cream cake from Molly Moo Creamery. The box that it was packed in was a rectangular prism. The dimensions of the box are shown in the diagram. %0d%0a%0d%0a%0d%0a%0d%0aWhat is the total surface area of the box of in square inches?

Answer 1

To calculate the total surface area of a rectangular prism, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2(lw + lh + wh) \]

where:

• \( l \) is the length,
• \( w \) is the width,
• \( h \) is the height of the prism.

Without the specific dimensions given in your example (as they were not included in the message), I'm unable to provide a numeric answer. Please provide the dimensions (length, width, and height) of the box, and I'll be happy to help you calculate the total surface area.
