To find the surface area of a rectangular prism (like a textbook), you can use the formula:

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

where:

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

For the given dimensions of the textbook:

  • \( l = 14 \) in,
  • \( w = 9 \) in,
  • \( h = 2 \) in.

Now substituting these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2(14)(9) + 2(14)(2) + 2(9)(2) \]

Calculating each term:

  1. \( 2(14)(9) = 2 \times 126 = 252 \)
  2. \( 2(14)(2) = 2 \times 28 = 56 \)
  3. \( 2(9)(2) = 2 \times 18 = 36 \)

Now adding these values together:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 252 + 56 + 36 = 344 , \text{in}^2 \]

Thus, the surface area of the textbook is \( \boxed{344 , \text{in}^2} \).
