First, find the surface area for each side:
\n" ); document.write( "1.) Area of a rectangle is $\"A=ab\"$ , where a=4, and b=1
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=4%2A1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2.) Area of a square is $\"A=s%5E2\"$ , where s=1
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=1%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=1\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since this is a rectangular box, there are 4 sides, 2 rectangular and 2 square. Taking the results from above:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "rectangular surface area is $\"4%2A2=8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "square surface area is $\"1%2A2=2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "add them together $\"8%2B2=10\"$ $\"ft%5E2\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
