Best Answer

To find the total area of a solid, the general formula is SA=(base area)+(perimeter of one face*height).

To put it more simply, if you had a cube with edges 3 inches long, your formula would look like this: Area=(3*3)+(6*3), and the answer would be 27 inches squared.

Volume is how much an object can store - like how much can you put inside a box. Surface area is the sum of the area of an objects surfaces - such as if you have a box, find the area of one side. Then you just multiply it by 6 (because a box have 6 faces) to get the total area of an object's surface.
