The question is somewhat puzzling. The surface area of a box is not sufficient information to determine its shape and, therefore, its size. Furthermore, surface area would not be given as 480 cubic inches since that is not a measure of area (but of volume). On the other hand, if the box has a volume of 480 cubic inches, the answer, becomes trivial. 480 inch cubes = 480 cubic inches. Rocket science!
no; surface area applies to the square unit of measurement of a 2-dimensional surface, such as one face of a box (length and width). Volume is a 3-dimensional representation that takes the 2-dimensional surface area (length x width) and adds a 3rd dimension in the form of depth, or height. Answers in volume will always be a cubic unit of measure. Summing it up: Surface Area: L x W Cubic Area (Volume): L x W x H
A juice box has a length of 3 inches, width of 1 inch and height of 4 inches. What is the total outside surface area of the juice box? Also how many cubic inches of juice can it contain if the wall thickness of the box is negligible and juice is filled only to 7/8 of the height?
The volume doesn't tell you the dimensions or the area of the sides.The smallest area it could have is 129.266 square cm, but it could beany number greater than that.
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.

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.
It should be relatively easy to find the surface area of a box when you are given the surface area.
An area is measured in square units, so for lengths measured in feet, the area would be measured in square feet.The surface area of a box, is just the sum of the areas of each face, each of which is measured in square units.

"each side is 10 12 inches" Unsure about how this is worded, however: To find the area of a cube, you must multiply the area of one face, by its length. The surface area for a cubic box with 10" sides would be 10x10x10 = 1000 For a box of 12" sides, this would be 12x12x12 = 1452
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.

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.
