It should be relatively easy to find the surface area of a box when you are given the surface area.
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.
measure the sides of the box
To calculate the surface area of a box, you first need to find the area of each side of the box, then add these numbers together. For a 6x6x10 box, there will be 6 sides: Side A: 6x6 = 36 Side B: 6x6 = 36 Side C: 6x10 = 60 Side D: 6x10 = 60 Side E: 6x10 = 60 Side F: 6x10 = 60 Adding these together: 36+36+60+60+60+60 [or: (36)(2) + (60)(4)] The total surface area of the box would therefore be equal to 312ft2
The surface area would increase by x16, e.g. 2x2x2 box= 24cm squared 8x8x8 box= 384cm squared :384/24=16
