A box has a length of 15 centimeters, a width of 22 centimeters, and a height of 9 centimeters. what is the surface area of the box?

The surface area (SA) of a rectangular prism (box) is obtained by the equation,

SA = 2 (LW + WH + LH)

where L is length, W is width, and H is height.

Substituting the values for the dimensions,

SA = 2 (15cm x 22cm + 22cm x 9cm + 15cm x 9 cm) = 1326 cm²

Thus, the surface area of the box is 1326 cm².
