To determine the dimensions of the paper needed to cover the box, we need to calculate the surface area of the box.

The formula for calculating the surface area of a rectangular prism is:

Surface Area = 2 * (Length * Width + Length * Height + Width * Height)

Let's substitute the given values into the formula:

Surface Area = 2 * (8 in * 2 in + 8 in * 2 in + 2 in * 2 in)
Surface Area = 2 * (16 in² + 16 in² + 4 in²)
Surface Area = 2 * (36 in²)
Surface Area = 72 in²

Now, let's compare this surface area to the options provided:

A) 8 in x 4 in = 32 in²
B) 8 in x 6 in = 48 in²
C) 8 in x 8 in = 64 in²
D) 8 in x 10 in = 80 in²

The only option with a surface area greater than or equal to 72 in² is option B) 8 in x 6 in. Therefore, Maria would need a paper with dimensions of 8 in x 6 in to cover the box, including the ends, with a little left over.
