The surface area of a rectangular prism is found by adding together the areas of all its faces.
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Using the given dimensions of the package, we can calculate the surface area:
2(8)(11) + 2(8)(2) + 2(11)(2) = 176 + 32 + 44 = 252
Therefore, the surface area of the package is 252 square inches.
