length x width x height will give the VOLUME. Length x width gives the AREA. Which do you want?
With the developments of rectangular box on paper how am I supposed to find the area of the paper that I need to make the box -- Not find the air of the box itself but the paper used? By measuring the area of one side of the box and multiplying by the six sides. You get the total area of the box (Cube).
measure the sides of the box
Perimeter=find each perimeter of each side of the box then add them all up area=find each are of each side of the box then add them all up
find the area of each side and add them together.
Use a ruler, to find out the area do width times length.
The Name Box is at the left end of the Formula Bar.
sa=2lw+2lh+2wh

First of all, there's probably no other way to find it except with math.-- Add up:(length of the box times width of the box) plus(length of the box times height of the box) plus(width of the box times height of the box).-- Double the result.-- You have the total area of the cardboard used to make the box, including its top.
The formula will depend on what it is that you are trying to find: the volume or the surface area.
This would all depend on the area that one is located. For example if was is in the Los Angeles area then one can find an outdoor electrical box near the store Factory Outlet.
To find the area of a box, you need to calculate the total surface area of all its faces. A box has six faces, each with its own area. To find the total area, you would add up the areas of each face. The formula for the surface area of a box is 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the box.
