To find the total surface area of the box, we need to know its dimensions. It seems that there are some dimensions given, but it's a bit unclear how they correspond to the box's length, width, and height.
Assuming the dimensions you've provided represent the length, width, and height of the box as follows:
- Length = 10 inches
- Width = 6 inches
- Height = 5 inches
The formula for the surface area (SA) of a rectangular box is:
\[
SA = 2(lw + lh + wh)
\]
where \(l\) is the length, \(w\) is the width, and \(h\) is the height.
Let's substitute the values into the formula:
\[
SA = 2(10 \times 6 + 10 \times 5 + 6 \times 5)
\]
Calculate each term inside the parentheses:
1. \(lw = 10 \times 6 = 60\)
2. \(lh = 10 \times 5 = 50\)
3. \(wh = 6 \times 5 = 30\)
Now add these values together:
\[
SA = 2(60 + 50 + 30) = 2(140) = 280
\]
So, the surface area of the box is \(280\) square inches.
Since this answer does not match any of the options provided, it may be necessary to double-check the dimensions or ensure they are correctly interpreted. If further clarification can be provided about the dimensions (which correspond to length, width, and height), I can help verify the calculation.
