Your question is a bit difficult to understand. Of course, if the box surface area is doubled, then the box is bigger. I suppose two valid questions are, if the sides are all increased by the same factor, what is this factor, and a second question is what is the new volume as compared to the initial one. If we look at the front face of the box, the area is height x width or A= H X W. So, if our length and with are multiplied by some factor, I will call X, to double the area, we have 2 A = H * X * W *X or X2*H*W =2A and if I substitute L*W for A, and cancel the A on each side, X2 = 2 or X = sqrt of 2. The same calculation can be made for the sides of the box, and you will see the factor is square root of 2 or 1.414. Now the second question is how much does the volume change. Since each side is larger by 1.414 and volume equals Height * width * depth, the volume increase by Factor = (2 1/2)3 = 2 3/2 or 2*sqrt(2) = 2*1.414 = 2.828 The box with double the surface area will have 2.828 more volume.

How do you find the surface area of a cubic box?
if you want the outside area just calculate the area of one face of the cube H x L and multiply by six. double this amount if you want the internal surfaces added to this such as if you had a cardboard box.
Formula for surface area of a box?
Add all the area of six faces of the box in gerneral the surface area of a cube shape box is 6a2 and of cuboid is 2(lb x bh x hl)

How can you use the formula for the surface area of a box to find the surface area of a cube?
The surface area of a box, which is a cuboid, depends on its length, width and height. A cube is a special type of cuboid in which the length , width and height are all the same.
How do you find the surface area of a box?
sa=2lw+2lh+2wh
Surface area of a box?
Double [ (length x width) + (length x height) + (width x height) ]
The surface area of a box when given the surface area height and peremeter?
It should be relatively easy to find the surface area of a box when you are given the surface area.
To calculate the area of the front surface of a box you---?
need to measure the length and width of the front surface, then multiply these two measurements together. This will give you the area of the front surface of the box.
To calculate the area of the front surface of a box you would do what?
To calculate the area of the front surface of a box, you would multiply the width of the box by the height of the box. This calculation gives you the area of the rectangular front surface.
What is the difference between the area of each face on a box added up and the surface area of a box?
The surface area of a box is the sum of the areas of the individual faces. If that's what you said, then there is no difference.
How do you find the surface area of a cubic box?
if you want the outside area just calculate the area of one face of the cube H x L and multiply by six. double this amount if you want the internal surfaces added to this such as if you had a cardboard box.
Are area and surface area the same?
No, they are two different things. Area encompasses the total object while Surface Area only encompasses what it implies. For instance, if you had a box, the Area would be the total size of the box, while Surface Area would only indicate the size of the top of the box. no. area is Lenth times width and surface area is what the area of the whole object.
Area of a box?
There's no such thing as "area of a box" unless you mean "surface area of a box." Length * width * height gives you the volume of a 3D box. Length * width gives area of a 2D rectangle. Surface area of a box can be found by calculating the area of each face and adding them together.
How do you find the surface area of a box with no lid?
measure the sides of the box

Tocalculate the area of the front surfaceof a box?
The front surface of a box is a rectangle. If you only need the area of the front surface, then it doesn't even matter what it's part of. Multiply the width of the surface by its height. The answer is its area.
