The customers themselves are allowed to label the three dimensions of their box with l,w,hl,w,h for the purpose of calculating the processing fee. A customer finds that there are two different ways to label the dimensions of their box BB to get a fee of $8.10\$8.10, and two different ways to label BB to get a fee of $8.70\$8.70. None of the faces of BB are squares. Find the surface area of BB, in square inches.
