To find the area of a box, you need to calculate the total surface area of all its faces. A box has six faces, each with its own area. To find the total area, you would add up the areas of each face. The formula for the surface area of a box is 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the box.

The question is ambiguous. I can determine the outside area of a closed box, given its height H, width W and depth D. The top and bottom are equal area, D x W. The front and back are equal area, H x W. The right and left sides are equal, H x D. So, we have 2 x (DW+HW+HD) = total outside area. If all sides are equal, we have 6xL^2, where L is the length of one of the sides.
