To calculate the total surface area of the container, we need to find the area of each of the six faces and then add them up.
Face 1: 8 in * 3 in = 24 square inches
Face 2: 8 in * 3 in = 24 square inches
Face 3: 8 in * 8 in = 64 square inches
Face 4: 8 in * 8 in = 64 square inches
Face 5: 3 in * 11.3 in = 33.9 square inches
Face 6: 3 in * 11.3 in = 33.9 square inches
Total surface area = 24 + 24 + 64 + 64 + 33.9 + 33.9 = 244.8 square inches
Therefore, the area of the container is 244.8 square inches.
