6+6+4+4=20
6 sides
Assuming the box has sides of length A, B and C, Area = 2 (AB+BC+AC) square units expanding this we get Area = (A x B x 2) + (A x C x 2) + (B x C x 2) square units Consider the solid box that has sides of lengths 2, 3 and 4 It will have six faces with sides as follows 2 and 3, 2 and 3, 2 and 4, 2 and 4, 3 and 4, and 3 and 4 Each of these faces has an area equal to the product of these two sides 6 and 6 and 8 and 8 and 12 and 12 Taking the sum of these areas we get the total surface area of the box as 52 square units
It's pretty obvious. 6. Unless you have a weird box. Then just count the sides.
A box typically has six sides.
A square with 6 metres sides would have an area of 6 metres x 6 metres which is 36 square metres.
A square has 4 sides. Perimeter is the sum of its sides. So 24/4 = 6 cm (1 side). Area of square is (side*side)= 6*6 = 36cm2
Add together the areas of all 6 sides.
4 * 4 * 6 = 96 cm
6 sides.
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 surface area is 88.
