Question
**Rectangular Prism Toy Box Construction**
______________________________

Ariana built a toy box in the shape of a rectangular prism with an open top. The diagram below shows the toy box and a net of the toy box.

**Toy Box Diagram:**

1. The first diagram depicts a 3-dimensional rectangular prism representing the toy box. This box is open at the top. The edges of the prism are depicted with solid lines for the visible edges and dashed lines for the hidden edges.

**Net of the Toy Box:**

1. The net diagram illustrates the layout of the six faces of the rectangular prism so they can be folded into the shape of the toy box.
2. The net has five faces since the toy box is open at the top:
   - The two vertical rectangles on the left of the net each measure 14 cm by 11 cm, representing the two opposite sides of the toy box.
   - The middle horizontal rectangle measures 15 cm by 11 cm, representing the bottom of the toy box.
   - The two vertical rectangles on the right of the net each measure 14 cm by 15 cm, representing the other two opposite sides of the toy box.

**Question:**
What is the surface area, in square centimeters, of the toy box? 

______________________________

To calculate the surface area of the toy box, add up the area of the five faces of the net.

1. Two sides with dimensions 14 cm by 11 cm:
   - Area of one side: 14 cm * 11 cm = 154 cm²
   - Total Area for two sides: 154 cm² * 2 = 308 cm²

2. Bottom face with dimensions 15 cm by 11 cm:
   - Area of bottom: 15 cm * 11 cm = 165 cm²

3. Two sides with dimensions 14 cm by 15 cm:
   - Area of one side: 14 cm * 15 cm = 210 cm²
   - Total area for two sides: 210 cm² * 2 = 420 cm²

Adding all the areas together: 
308 cm² + 165 cm² + 420 cm² = 893 cm²

**Answer:**
The surface area of the toy box is 893 square centimeters.
