To calculate the surface area of the box, you need to find the area of each of the six faces and then add them together.
The box has 2 identical large faces with dimensions 12.5 inches by 9.5 inches:
2 * (12.5 * 9.5) = 2 * 118.75 = 237.5 square inches
The box has 2 identical small faces with dimensions 3.0 inches by 9.5 inches:
2 * (3 * 9.5) = 2 * 28.5 = 57 square inches
The box has 2 identical small faces with dimensions 3.0 inches by 12.5 inches:
2 * (3 * 12.5) = 2 * 37.5 = 75 square inches
Adding all the areas together:
237.5 + 57 + 75 = 369.5 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the box is 369.5 square inches.
