What is the surface area of the gift box?

The surface area of a rectangular box is calculated using the formula: 2(lw + lh + wh), where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

1. Length (l) = 7.5 in.
2. Width (w) = 4 in.
3. Height (h) = 4.75 in.

Substitute the values into the formula:

Surface Area = 2(7.5 * 4 + 7.5 * 4.75 + 4 * 4.75)

Surface Area = 2(30 + 35.625 + 19)

Surface Area = 2(84.625)

Surface Area = 169.25 in²
