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
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.
If it's just the front surface of a box then it's simply a 2D shape, the area can be calculated by multiplying the length by the width. Answer will be in units squared.
No. If you want the area of a single surface of a box, simply multiply the height by the width of the surface of interest.
multiply the height by the width
You measure the sides, and multiply the top and side.
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.

Because a box has 6 faces, the "front surface" is not detailed enough. If you are referring to the surface perpendicular to the ground and is facing you, then you simply multiply the height of the box by the edge of the base on the front surface.
It should be relatively easy to find the surface area of a box when you are given the surface area.
height x length
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.
