Calculations
Example 1: Open Box
Step |
Calculation |
Box Type |
Open |
Length |
5 cm |
Width |
3 cm |
Height |
2 cm |
Surface Area |
(5 × 3) + (2 × 5 × 2) + (2 × 3 × 2) = 46 cm² |
In this example, an open box with dimensions 5 cm by 3 cm by 2 cm has a surface area of 46 cm².
Example 2: Closed Box
Step |
Calculation |
Box Type |
Closed |
Length |
4 m |
Width |
2 m |
Height |
3 m |
Surface Area |
2 × (4 × 2) + 2 × (4 × 3) + 2 × (2 × 3) = 52 m² |
For a closed box with dimensions 4 m by 2 m by 3 m, the surface area is calculated to be 52 m², providing an accurate measure for construction or packaging needs.
