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

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
The surface area would increase by x16, e.g. 2x2x2 box= 24cm squared 8x8x8 box= 384cm squared :384/24=16
