To find the surface area of the box, you would first calculate the area of each individual face and then add them up.
1. Front and back faces: 12.5 inches * 9.5 inches = 118.75 square inches (each)
2. Top and bottom faces: 12.5 inches * 3.0 inches = 37.5 square inches (each)
3. Side faces: 9.5 inches * 3.0 inches = 28.5 square inches (each)
Adding up all the faces:
Front and back faces = 118.75 square inches * 2 = 237.5 square inches
Top and bottom faces = 37.5 square inches * 2 = 75 square inches
Side faces = 28.5 square inches * 2 = 57 square inches
Total surface area = 237.5 + 75 + 57 = 369.5 square inches
Therefore, the correct response is:
369.5 square inches
