To calculate the surface area of a box, find the area of each face, and add all answers together. For example, the surface area of a square whose faces are all 2" by 2" can be calculated with the following equation:
2x2x6
2x2 equals 4. Since a square's sides are all the same length, we can simply multiply 4 by the number of faces on a square(6), instead of 4+4+4+4+4+4. THIS IS ONLY TRUE FOR SQUARES! I REPEAT, THIS IS ONLY TRUE FOR SQUARES!!!! For all other shapes, the sides are NOT all the same length. So THIS IS ONLY TRUE FOR SQUARES!
No. If you want the area of a single surface of a box, simply multiply the height by the width of the surface of interest.
multiply the height by the width
You measure the sides, and multiply the top and side.
If it's just the front surface of a box then it's simply a 2D shape, the area can be calculated by multiplying the length by the width. Answer will be in units squared.
To calculate the surface area of a rectangular box, use the formula: Surface Area = 2(lw + lh + wh), where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the box. Simply plug in the values for length, width, and height to find the total surface area. Make sure to calculate each area of the three pairs of opposite faces and then sum them up, multiplying by 2 to account for both sides.
to calculate the area of the front surface of a box you should
Measure the height and multiply it by the width.
multiply the length by the height
No. If you want the area of a single surface of a box, simply multiply the height by the width of the surface of interest.
multiply the height by the width
You measure the sides, and multiply the top and side.

The surface area of each side of the box ( there should be six sides unless it doesn't have a top ) added together will give you the total surface area. The surface area of one side is calculated by multiplying the length and the width. The answer will be in square inches or square centimeters depending on what unit of measure you use.
To calculate the surface area of a box (rectangular prism), use the formula: Surface Area = 2(lw + lh + wh), where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. For a box measuring 20 cm by 10 cm by 15 cm, the surface area is: 2(2010 + 2015 + 10*15) = 2(200 + 300 + 150) = 2(650) = 1300 cm². Thus, the surface area of the box is 1300 cm².
You need to:* Calculate the surface area * Calculate the volume * Divide the surface area by the volume
height x length
To calculate the pressure exerted on a surface, the force acting on the surface is divided by the surface area. Mathematically, pressure = force / area.
