Solution

Calculate the surface area of the cereal box:
The shape of the cereal box is a rectangular prism.
The dimension of the box is:
Length, $L = 15 u n i t s$
Width, $W = 4 u n i t s$
Height, $H = 25 u n i t s$
Recall the formula for the total surface area of rectangular prism:
$S = 2 (L W + W H + L H)$
Substitute $L = 15, W = 4 a n d H = 25$ into the formula:
$S = 2 (15 \times 4 + 4 \times 25 + 15 \times 25) S = 2 (60 + 100 + 375) S = 2 (535) S = 1070 u n i t s^{2}$
Hence, the surface area of the cereal box is $1070 u n i t s^{2}$ .
