Answer:
323.5 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The cereal box is not shown. However, the given details are enough to arrive at a solution
[tex]Length = 13.5in[/tex]
[tex]Width = 2.5in[/tex]
[tex]Height = 8in[/tex]
Required
The total surface area (TSA)
This is calculated as:
[tex]TSA = 2 * (Length * Width + Length * Height + Width * Height)[/tex]
[tex]TSA = 2 * (13.5 * 2.5 + 13.5 * 8 + 2.5 * 8)[/tex]
[tex]TSA = 2 * (161.75)[/tex]
[tex]TSA = 323.5[/tex]
Hence, the total surface area is 323.5 square inches
