Jeremiah have to cover 248 square inches of surface area of cereal box with fabric.

Total surface area of the cuboid = 2(l × w + w × h + h × l)

Surface area of the cereal box to be covered with fabric ;

`A=2(6 inch* 2 inch+2inch* 14 inch+14 inch* 6 inch)`

`A=248 inch^2`

Jeremiah have to cover 248 square inches of surface area of cereal box with fabric.
