A simple example would be a square that is ten inches by ten inches. To find the area multiply the length by the width, 10 x 10 = 100in2 (or 100 square inches). To find the perimeter of the square, 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 40 inches (or 10 x 4 = 40 inches).

To find the surface area of the three dimensional figure you must find the perimeter of a face and then multiply by the height?

NO. This is the way to get the volume of a prism, not the surface area of any three-dimensional figure. To find the surface area of a three-dimensional figure, you must find the area of each of its faces and then add the side-areas together.
