Solution

The "box-sizing" property in CSS controls "How the element's dimensions are calculated".

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. In CSS, each element is represented as a rectangular box. This box has a content area (the space occupied by the element's content) and optional surrounding padding, border, and margin areas.

  2. The "box-sizing" property is used to tell the browser what the sizing properties (width and height) should include.

  3. If you set "box-sizing" to "content-box" (default), the width and height properties include only the content. In this case, the padding and border are added on top of the width and height.

  4. If you set "box-sizing" to "border-box", the padding and border are included in the element's total width and height.

  5. Therefore, the "box-sizing" property controls how the element's dimensions are calculated. It does not control border size, box shadow, or element positioning.
