1. **State the problem:** Calculate the total surface area of a rectangular box with length $90$ cm, width $60$ cm, and height $50$ cm.
2. **Formula:** The total surface area $A$ of a rectangular box is given by:
$$A = 2(lw + lh + wh)$$
where $l$ is length, $w$ is width, and $h$ is height.
3. **Substitute the values:**
$$A = 2(90 \times 60 + 90 \times 50 + 60 \times 50)$$
4. **Calculate each product:**
$$90 \times 60 = 5400$$
$$90 \times 50 = 4500$$
$$60 \times 50 = 3000$$
5. **Sum the products:**
$$5400 + 4500 + 3000 = 12900$$
6. **Multiply by 2:**
$$A = 2 \times 12900 = 25800$$
7. **Answer:** The total surface area of the box is $25800$ cm².
This matches the option $25800$ cm².
