A cereal box has the dimensions shown. A drawing of a rectangular prism shaped cereal box with length 9 inches, width 4 inches and height 12 inches. a. Find the surface area of the cereal box.

surface area of the rectangular shaped cereal box = 384  ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The cereal box is a rectangular prism . The rectangular prism has a length of 9 inches, height of 12 inches and width of 4 inches . The surface area can be computed below .

Surface area of the prism is the sum of the area of all the faces. Therefore,

surface area = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw

where

l = length

w = width

h = height

surface area = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw

l = 9 inches

w = 4  inches

h = 12 inches

surface area = 2(4 × 9) + 2(9 × 12) + 2(12 × 4)

surface area = 2(36) + 2(108) + 2(48)

surface area = 72 + 216  + 96

surface area of the rectangular shaped cereal box = 384  ft²
