square inches
anything as long as its on the surface area
Square inches seems a good bet.
Surface area would be measured in square inches or square feet. This is the area of a flat surface, like a desk top. Volume is the inside area, like inside a balloon. This would be measured in cubic inches or feet (inches x inches x inches).
Surface area
5 inches.
The question is somewhat puzzling. The surface area of a box is not sufficient information to determine its shape and, therefore, its size. Furthermore, surface area would not be given as 480 cubic inches since that is not a measure of area (but of volume). On the other hand, if the box has a volume of 480 cubic inches, the answer, becomes trivial. 480 inch cubes = 480 cubic inches. Rocket science!
You would use square inches if you were trying to measure the area of a 2D shape.
No. In fact, surface area is never measured in inches.
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the area of the rectangular surface would be 0.640 inches x 1.14 inches = 0.7296 square inches.
== == Side s = 2.5 inches Surface area a = 6 x s x s = 6 x 2.5 x 2.5 = 37.5 square inches
Total surface area = 314.16 square inches. Lateral surface area = 157.08 square inches.
The total surface area is 400.21 square inches. The lateral surface area is 287.11 square inches.
