Given Dimensions:
Length = 25 cm 
L = 25
Width = 20 cm W = 20
Height = 4 cm H = 4
The formula for the surface area (SA) of the rectangular prism, aka box, is
SA = 2*(L*W + L*H + W*H)
Plug in the given values above
SA = 2*(L*W + L*H + W*H)
SA = 2*(25*20 + 25*4 + 20*4)
SA = 2*(500 + 100 + 80)
SA = 2*(600 + 80)
SA = 2*(680)
SA = 1360
The units for the surface area are in square centimeters.

Final Answer: 1360 square centimeters
As an alternative notation, you can write "square centimeters" as "cm^2"
