To find the surface area of the box that needs to be decorated, we need to find the area of the front, sides, and top.
The surface area of the front is the height multiplied by the width, which is 30 cm * 36 cm = 1080 cm^2.
The surface area of the two sides is the height multiplied by the depth, which is 30 cm * 49 cm * 2 = 2940 cm^2.
The surface area of the top is the width multiplied by the depth, which is 36 cm * 49 cm = 1764 cm^2.
So, the total surface area that needs to be decorated is 1080 cm^2 + 2940 cm^2 + 1764 cm^2 = 5784 cm^2.
