find the area of each side and add them together.
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
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.
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.
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 multiply the width of the box by the height of the box. This calculation gives you the area of the rectangular front surface.
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.
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.
