How many square feet is a box that measures 24 inches high 12 inches wide and 10 inches deep

Question

Greatly appreciated

Answer 1

I think you mean cubic feet? The volume is 24*12*10 cu inches=2*1*10/12 cu ft=2*5/6=5/3 cu ft, or 1 2/3 cu ft or 1.67cu ft.

If you really did mean square feet, then it must be surface area you want. We get this by adding together the areas of top and bottom, two ends and two sides: 2(2*1+1*5/6+2*5/6)=2*9/2=9 sq ft.
