No, they are two different things. Area encompasses the total object while Surface Area only encompasses what it implies. For instance, if you had a box, the Area would be the total size of the box, while Surface Area would only indicate the size of the top of the box. no. area is Lenth times width and surface area is what the area of the whole object.

How are volume and surface area the same when volume stays the same?
There is no reason for the surface area to remain the same even if the volume is the same.
Which has more surface area a rectangular prisms or rectangular pyramid?
For the same base dimensions (base area) and the same height, the rectangular prism has more surface area.
Is the area and surface area of a trapezoid the same?
Yes. The term "surface area" as normally used for 3-dimensional objects but that does not alter its meaning. The two measures are the same.
How does surface area different from area?
Surface area is the area of all the sides of a 3D object, but area could be anything. e.g. Area is the surface of a 2D object or if you say the area of all the sides, it means the same as Surface area. -----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----= By Austin from Covenant Christian School
Does the surface area change in the same proportion?
Yes.
Do figures with the same volume always have the same surface area?
figures with the same volume does not have the same surface area.
How are volume and surface area the same when volume stays the same?
There is no reason for the surface area to remain the same even if the volume is the same.
The surface area formula for a right cone is the same as the surface area formula for an oblique cone?
False. The surface area formula for a right cone is not the same as the surface area formula for an oblique cone.
Can a cone and a cylinder have the same surface area?
Of course they can. The cone would have to be taller or have a wider base than the cylinder, but they could very easily have the same surface area. A cone and a fish can have the same surface area.
How can two rectangular prisms have the same surface area but different volumes?
Yes, they can. They can also have the same surface area, but different volume.
Can two rectangular prisms have the same surface area but different volume?
Yes, they can. They can also have the same surface area, but different volume.
What happens to the cylinder's surface area if its radius is squared?
It remains the same or increases in surface area.
Do cubes have the same volume and surface area?
Yes Volume: Is the amount it takes to build it. Surface Area: Is how much is on the surface.
How do you find the surface area for the following net?
The surface area for a solid shape formed from a net is the same as the area of the net.
Which has more surface area a rectangular prisms or rectangular pyramid?
For the same base dimensions (base area) and the same height, the rectangular prism has more surface area.
Is the area and surface area of a trapezoid the same?
Yes. The term "surface area" as normally used for 3-dimensional objects but that does not alter its meaning. The two measures are the same.
Can a cuboid with the same value have the same surface area?
yes
