Bot GPT 3.5 To calculate the surface area of the box, you need to find the area of each individual side and then add them all together.
The box has 6 sides:
1. Top and bottom: 2 sides with dimensions 4 in by 8 in = 4 * 8 * 2 = 64 in²
2. Front and back: 2 sides with dimensions 4 in by 2.25 in = 4 * 2.25 * 2 = 18 in²
3. Left and right: 2 sides with dimensions 2.25 in by 8 in = 2.25 * 8 * 2 = 36 in²
Therefore, the total surface area of the box is:
64 + 18 + 36 = 118 in²
Thus, the surface area of the box is 118 square inches.
