Question

Answer 1

Hello!

To find our surface area, we find to find the area of each face of the box and add it all up. To do so, let's find the three different faces and multiply it by 2.

8(10)=80

10(15)=150

8(15)=120

Now we add these up.

80+150+120=350

Now we multiply by 2.

350(2)=700

Therefore, our answer is B) 700 square inches.

I hope this helps!
