Remember that

The total surface area of the box is equal to

SA=2B+Ph

where

B is the area of the rectangular base

P is the perimeter of the rectangular base

h is the height of the box

we have

B=(28)*(14)=392 cm2

P=2(28+14)=84 cm

h=10 cm

substitute the given values in the expression above

SA=2(392)+84(10)

SA=1,624 cm2
