The surface area of a box can be calculated by adding up the areas of all six sides of the box.
The area of the top and bottom sides (which are both 24 in by 18 in) would be 24 * 18 * 2 = 864 square inches for both sides.
The area of the front and back sides (which are both 24 in by 12 in) would be 24 * 12 * 2 = 576 square inches for both sides.
The area of the left and right sides (which are both 18 in by 12 in) would be 18 * 12 * 2 = 432 square inches for both sides.
Adding up all the areas, we get a total surface area of 864 + 576 + 432 = 1872 square inches.
Therefore, the surface area of the box is 1872 square inches.
what is the surface area of a box that is 24 in by 18 in by 12 in?
