The box is in the shape of cuboid.

The surface area of cuboid is given by:

$S.A. = 2(lw +lh+wh)$

We are given:

l=14 in. , w=6 in. and h =2 in.

Plugging these in the given formula to find surface area:

$S.A. = 2(14*6 + 6*2 +14*2)$

Surface Area = 248 square inches.

Answer: Jeremiah has to cover 248 square inches of cereal box.
