Answer:
638 in.²
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you need to cover just the surface area of the box with no overlaps, and the shape is a rectangular prism, then you need to find the surface area of a rectangular prism.
SA = PH + 2LW
where
P = perimeter of base = 2(L + W),
H = height of prism
L = length of base
W = width of base
SA = 2(16 + 7)(9) + 2(16)(7)
SA = 638
