What will be the edge area of a rectangular box of
width = 1m length=2m and height = 10 cm?
Will it be (Height * Length)?
-----
Edges don't have area.
Do you mean the surface area?
That would be the entire area excluding the top and the base.
-------------------
SA = 2[1*2+1*10+2*10] = 2[2+10+20] = 2*32 = 64 cm^2
