find the area of each side and add them together.
To find the box with the least surface area for a given volume, you can start by using the formula for the surface area of a rectangular box: ( SA = 2(lw + lh + wh) ), where ( l ), ( w ), and ( h ) are the box's length, width, and height. Given a specific volume ( V = lwh ), you can express one dimension in terms of the others and then use calculus to minimize the surface area function. Typically, the optimal box shape with the least surface area for a fixed volume is a cube, as all sides are equal. You can confirm this by applying the method of Lagrange multipliers or analyzing the critical points of the surface area equation.
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.
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.
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.
Lateral Area= p times h p= perimeter of the base h=height of the figure Surface Area= Lateral Area + 2 times (B) B= Area of base
measure the sides of the box
It should be relatively easy to find the surface area of a box when you are given the surface area.
sa=2lw+2lh+2wh
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.

The formula will depend on what it is that you are trying to find: the volume or the surface area.

you multiply the length times width times height.
to calculate the area of the front surface of a box you should
Measure the height and multiply it by the width.
to know how much paint is needed to coat it
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.
