To find the surface area of the box, we need to find the sum of the areas of each face.
Looking at the image, we can see that the length of the box is around 5.5 inches, the width is around 3.5 inches, and the height is around 1 inch.
The surface area formula for a rectangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Plugging in the measurements we have:
Surface Area = 2(3.5)(1) + 2(3.5)(5.5) + 2(1)(5.5)
Surface Area = 7 + 38.5 + 11
Surface Area = 56.5 square inches
The surface area of the box is 56.5 in^2.
