Dilip is going to paint a shoebox to use for storage of his trading cards. The shoebox is 23 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 8 inches high find the surface area of the shoebox

The answer is 988 square inches. L=23 W=10 H=8

The equation for surface area is 2 (L x W) + 2 (L x H) + 2 (W x H)

Next, you need to substitute the values into the equation to get:

Surface area = 2 (23 x 10) + 2 (23 x 8) + 2 (10 x 8)

Now finish solving the equation to get an answer of 988 square inches!
