To find the surface area of the tissue box, we need to calculate the sum of the areas of all six sides.
Given that a tissue box typically has a rectangular shape, with length (l), width (w), and height (h), the surface area (SA) is given by:
SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
If the tissue box has dimensions:
- Length (l) = 6 inches
- Width (w) = 4 inches
- Height (h) = 3 inches
Then the surface area would be:
SA = 2(6)(4) + 2(6)(3) + 2(4)(3)
SA = 48 + 36 + 24
SA = 108 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the tissue box is 108 square inches.
