Area is usually pertaining to the area of a 2d object but surface is 3d object
The surface area is the area of every face of a 3D object, such as a cube or sphere. Area usually refers to a flat object, such as a circle or rectangle.
surface area is the area of a 3D object radius is half of the diameter of a circle
A 2D shape is flat and only has a surface area whereas a 3D shape is an object that has surface area and volume.
surface area is basically the total area of each surface of the 3d object. Sa = 2-D A = 3-D
A "perimeter" is a 2D measurement and cannot be applied to a 3D object. However, sometimes the area around a building or piece of property to be protected is known as a perimeter. In that case, measure the sides of the facet of the object facing the ground, add them up and you have a perimeter. "Surface area" would be the closest thing to a perimeter, purely speaking. Measure the area of one facet of an regular 3D object (such as a cube), multiply that number by the number of facets, and you get the surface area.
if a 2d object, height x width. if a 3d object, height x width x 6.
To find the the area of a shape is to find the space that is enclosed within a 2D object. Do not mix it up with volume, which is the space enclosed within a 3D object.
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
area is 2D and volume is 3D. think of volume as the amount of space inside a 3D object like a ball.
Well, a 2D object has only length and width, but a 3D object has length, width, and depth.
a 3d object is a object that isn't flat. for instance, a square in 3d form would be a cube
