To find the surface area of the box, we need to find the area of each individual side and then add them up.
Top: 6 in x 4 in = 24 in^2
Bottom: 6 in x 4 in = 24 in^2
Front: 6 in x 2 in = 12 in^2
Back: 6 in x 2 in = 12 in^2
Left side: 4 in x 2 in = 8 in^2
Right side: 4 in x 2 in = 8 in^2
Add all the individual areas together:
24 + 24 + 12 + 12 + 8 + 8 = 88 in^2
Therefore, the surface area of the box is 88 in^2.
