The answer will depend on the shape (and size) of the box: some have a rectangular cross-section, others circular.

A rectangular box that is 6 by 8 by 12 units has a surface area of 2 x (6 x 8) + 2 x (6 x 12) + 2 x (8 x 12) = 432 square units
Depending on what value you are looking for: Surface Area = Sum of each side's area Volume = Length x Width x Height Anything else?
area of an box is length x width.
Multiply length x width.
you multiply the length times width times height.
The answer will depend on the shape (and size) of the box: some have a rectangular cross-section, others circular.
The formula will depend on what it is that you are trying to find: the volume or the surface area.

A rectangular box has six sides. Find the area of them and add them together. Two sides are length times height, two sides are length times width, and two sides are width times height. Surface Area = 2LH + 2LW + 2WH
2 x ((L x W) + (L x H) + (H x W))
The good thing about the developments of rectangular boxes is that they are still rectangular! In order to find the surface area of the paper needed to make a box, you would first need to determine the measurements of your finished box. One you have determined your length (L), width (W), and height (H), you will need to do some simple math. 2(LxW) + 2(WxH) + 2(LxH) = the area of paper that you need to make a box.
