Given, a cuboid has all edges are integers and base is square.

Let the length, breadth and height of cuboid is $x, x, y$.

Sum of all edges of cuboid $=4 x+4 x+4 y$

Sum of area of all faces $=2 x^2+2 x y+2 x y$

Given,

Sum of all edges of cuboid = Sum of area of all faces

$\therefore \quad 4 x+4 x+4 y=2\left(x^2+x y+x y\right)$

$\Rightarrow \quad 4(2 x+y)=2\left(x^2+2 x y\right)$

$\Rightarrow \quad x^2+2 x y-4 x-2 y=0$

$\Rightarrow \quad x^2+2 x(y-2)-2 y=0$

$\Rightarrow \quad x=\frac{-2(y-2) \pm \sqrt{4(y-2)^2+4(2 y)}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \quad x=y-2 \pm \sqrt{y^2-2 y+4}$

$x \text { is integer, when } y=2$

$\therefore \quad \quad y=2 x=2$

Hence, sum of edges $=8 x+4 y=16+8=24$
