Yes, if it is bound by plane figures, just add the area of each plane figure. If it has a curved surface, divide it into many small pieces, to approximate the area with small rectangles or triangles, then add them up.

What is definition of area?
area is the amount of space on a flat or 3d figure
How is the surface area different from area?
Surface area is all the areas for a 3 figure. Area is for only on side of a 3d figure
What is the sum of the area of all the faces of a 3D figure?
It is the total surface area.
What is a formula for surface area of triangle?
K, well there is no surface area of a triangle, because a triangle is a 2s figure. Surface area is for a 3d figure. To find the regular area of a triangle the formula is 1/2 of the base X the height :) gl :P
How do you find surface area of a 3D figure?
length times width i think* * * * *There are different formulae for calculating the surface areas of different 3D figures. If the 3D figure is a polyhedron, then each face is a ploygon and you can use the various formulae to calculate the area of each face and then add them together.There are straightforward equations for ellipsoids, and members of the conic family but other 3D shapes have more complicated formulae.
What is the space inside a figure called?
It depends on the type of figure. If it is a 2D figure, then it is called area. If it is a 3D figure, then it is called volume.

What is the space inside a geometric figure called?
Volume if it's a 3D figure and area if it's a 2D figure
What is the sum of the area of all sides of a 3D figure?
It is the total surface area of the shape.

Is a surface area of a triangle figured from the same formula?
well there is no surface area of a triangle, because a triangle is a 2s figure. Surface area is for a 3d figure. To find the regular area of a triangle the formula is 1/2 of the base X the height :) gl :P
What are square units used to measure?
The area of a 3d figure
How do you find out the area of a 3D circle?
The area of a sphere is 4πr2.
How do find the area of a plane figure?
Area of plane figure
