Okay, here we have this:
Considering the provided figure, we are going to calculate the requested surface area, so we obtain the following:
So to calculate the surface area we will first calculate the area of the base, the area of the short side and the area of the longest side, then we have:
Base area=6 in * 14 in=84 in^2
Short side area=8 in * 6 in = 48 in^2
Longest side area=8 in * 14 in=112 in^2
Total surface area=Base area+ 2(Short side area) + 2(Longest side area)
Total surface area=84 in^2+ 2(48 in^2) + 2 (112 in^2)
Total surface area=84 in^2+ 96 in^2 + 224 in^2
Total surface area=404 in^2
Finally we obtain that the total surface area in square inches of the toy box is 404 in^2.
