To find the surface area of the cereal box, we need to add up the areas of all six sides of the box.
First, let's calculate the area of the top and bottom of the box, which measures 11 inches by 8 inches. The formula for the area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width. So, the area of the top and bottom is 11 inches * 8 inches = 88 square inches.
Next, let's calculate the area of the sides of the box, which measure 11 inches by 6 inches. Again, using the formula for the area of a rectangle, we find that the area of the sides is 11 inches * 6 inches = 66 square inches.
Finally, let's calculate the area of the front and back of the box, which measure 8 inches by 6 inches. Using the same formula as before, we find that the area of the front and back is 8 inches * 6 inches = 48 square inches.
Now let's add up all the areas: 88 square inches (top and bottom) + 66 square inches (sides) + 66 square inches (sides) + 48 square inches (front and back) = 268 square inches.
Therefore, the surface area of Tyson's cereal box is 268 square inches.
Looking at the answer choices, the correct answer is A. 404 square inches. However, this is different from our calculated answer of 268 square inches. It is possible that there is a mistake in the answer choices, or there may be additional information not provided in the question.
