Assuming that the box is a rectangular parallelepiped, it has two sides each with dimensions 2*3, 2*4, and 3*4, with areas of 6, 8, and 12 square inches respectively. The total surface area therefore is 2(6 + 8 + 12) = 52 square inches.

To calcuate the area of the front surface of a box you?

For a box with equal dimensions on all sides, the surface area, S, is calculated as follows: S = 6*a^2 where a is the length of the side of the box For a box with different dimensions on the sides, the surface area, S, is calculated as follows: S = 2*a*b + 2*a*c + 2*b*c where a, b, c are the lengths of the different sides of the box


How does the total surface area of a box change if 1the demension is doubled 2the demansion is tripled?

The effect on the total surface area of one dimension being doubled or tripled cannot be calculated. You either need to know all three dimensions or all three dimensions must be doubled, not just one dimension (or demension / demansion as you call them).


Why might you want to know the dimensions of the box with the least surface area?

so you can use the least amount of paper to make the box. or wrap the 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.


What is the surface area of the box 61 squared inches What is the surface area of the box if it is scaled up by a factor of 10?

The squared area of the box, from the question itself, is 61 square inches. Scaling up the linear dimensions by a factor of 10 will make the area 6100 square inches.


What is the surface area of a box 1 metre by 1.2 metres?

The area of an object 1 x 1.2 meters is 1.2 square meters. Traditionally, boxes have three dimensions; length, width and height, and the surface area can be found with the formula 2lh + 2lw + 2wh


If the dimension of a box is quadrupled how are the surface area and volume affected?

The question is not clear about how many of the three dimensions of the box are quadruples. For example, you could quadruple its height but leave the length and breadth unchanged.However, if you assume that all three dimensions are quadrupled, the surface area is 16 times as large and the volume is 64 times as great.


How do you calculate the total surface area of a box?

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.


How do you determine the area of a cylindrical box?

The area of a three dementional figure is divided into lateral surface area and total surface area. The total surface area of a cylindrical box can be calculated by using the formula : 2 times pi times radius squared plus 2 times pi times radius times hight The lateral surface area can be calculated by the formula: 2 times pi times radius times height


If the total surface area of the box is 3735 what is the volume of a cube?

The volume will be 15,530 units cubed.


What is the difference between volume of solid figure and surface area of a solid figure?

Volume is how much an object can store - like how much can you put inside a box. Surface area is the sum of the area of an objects surfaces - such as if you have a box, find the area of one side. Then you just multiply it by 6 (because a box have 6 faces) to get the total area of an object's surface.


What are the dimensions of the lowest possible surface area for a box with a volume of 264 in cubed?

If by box you mean a cuboid shaped box, then the smallest surface area is a cube of side 2641/3 ~= 6.42 in (of approx 246.92 sq in). If there is no limitation on the interpretation of the shape of the box, then the smallest surface area is a sphere of radius (3/4 x 264 / {pi})1/3 = (198 / {pi})1/3 ~= 3.98in (of approx 199.02 sq in)..
