Answer:

256 in

Explanation:

Let the

length of the box=12 in

Width=5 in

Height=4 in

Surface area of a box can be calculated using 2lw+2lh+2wh

= 2(lw+lh+wh)

Where

lw=length×width

lh=length×heigth

wh=width×height

Therefore,

Surface area of a box=2(lw+lh+wh)

=2{(12×5)+(12×4)+(5×4)}

=2(60+48+20)

=2(128)

=256 in^3
