1 answer

To find the surface area of the box, we need to calculate the area of each face and then sum them all up.

Front face:
Area = 10 inches * 4 inches = 40 square inches

Back face:
Area = 10 inches * 4 inches = 40 square inches

Left side face:
Area = 4 inches * 8 inches = 32 square inches

Right side face:
Area = 4 inches * 8 inches = 32 square inches

Top face:
Area = 10 inches * 8 inches = 80 square inches

Bottom face:
Area = 4 inches * 8 inches = 32 square inches

Now, sum up all the areas:
40 + 40 + 32 + 32 + 80 + 32 = 256

The total surface area of the box is 256 square inches.
