Part 1:
42*3 = 126mm is the length of the box
The sides are 42 x 42
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Part 2:
42*Pi is the circumference of the cylinder and 126 is the height (or length)
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Part 3 - Exterior surfaces only, if you need external and internal multiply times 2.
Box:
The box has 4 sides and 2 ends:
Sides (4 sides): 4(126*42) =
Ends (2 ends): 2(42*42) =
Multiply and add the products to get the total area of the rectangular prism
Cylinder:
(42*Pi)*126 outside surface of the cylinder (like I said, if you need internal and external just multiply times 2)
Ends (2 ends): 2 = 2 add this to the area of the cylinder above. Again, if you need the surface of both sides you need to multiply the result times 2.
