Blanca is going to use a box that is a rectangular prism for a card box at her son’s birthday party. She will wrap and decorate the box. The dimensions of the box are shown in the diagram.
What is the total surface area of the box in square inches?
To find the total surface area of the box, we need to find the area of each face and add them up.
The box has 6 faces: 4 rectangle faces and 2 square faces.
The rectangle faces have dimensions 10 in by 8 in.
The area of each rectangle face is 10 in x 8 in = <<10*8=80>>80 square inches.
The square faces have dimensions 8 in by 8 in.
The area of each square face is 8 in x 8 in = 64 square inches.
So the total surface area of the box is 4(rectangle face area) + 2(square face area) = 4(80) + 2(64) = <<4*80+2*64=432>>432 square inches. Answer: \boxed{432}.
