The sides of the box are equal in pairs. Two of the sides have edges of 10 cm and 6 cm.
Their area is (10 × 6) × 2 = 60 × 2 = 120 cm2
Two of the sides have edges of 10 cm and 8 cm.
Their area is (10 × 8) × 2 = 80 × 2 = 160 cm2
Two of the sides have edges of 8 cm and 6 cm.
Their area is (8 × 6) × 2 = 48 × 2 = 96 cm2
The total area is 120 + 160 + 96 = 376 cm2
