Answer:

592 Square inches

Explanation:

We solve the above question by calculating the surface area of the rectangular box

A =2(wl + hl + hw)

w = Width = 8 inches

l = Length = 12 inches

h = Height = 10 inches

The square inches of wood would Mitchel need to build the box is calculated as:

Surface Area = 2 × (8 × 12 + 10 × 12 + 10 × 8) = 592 Square inches
