How does surface area differ from area?
s area is on three dimensional objects, but area is on two dimensional objects.
Is the formula for the area of any prism the same?
yes. base area x height lxwxh No. Above answer gives volume not surface area. Surface area formula will differ depending on type of prism.
How do the surface areas formula of cones and cylinders differ from that of prisms and pyramids?
The most general difference is: > The formula for the surface area of anything with a curved surface and edge will involve 'pi'. > The formula for the surface area of anything with only flat surfaces and straight edges won't.
What is the surfqace area of a cylinder?
It is the surface area of the two ends plus the surface area of the curved surface. Surface area of each end is pir2 Surface area of the curved surface is 2pirh Total surface area = 2pir2 + 2pirh
How can you obtain a cell's ratio of surface area to volume?
To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.

How does the surface area differ from area?
The diff is that SA (SURFACE AREA) is the area of the entire figure like a cube you would find the whole area of the firgure not the face. Area is the amount of space an object takes like a field to find out how much space it takes. :)

What is the surfqace area of a cylinder?
It is the surface area of the two ends plus the surface area of the curved surface. Surface area of each end is pir2 Surface area of the curved surface is 2pirh Total surface area = 2pir2 + 2pirh
What is the surface area is the sum of the areas of all the surfaces of a three dimensional object called?
The total surface area! The total surface area! The total surface area! The total surface area!

How do colonies on the surface of a pour plate differ from those suspended in agar?
How do colonies on the surface of a pour plate differ from those suspended in the agar?
The surface area of a box when given the surface area height and peremeter?
It should be relatively easy to find the surface area of a box when you are given the surface area.
How does relief differ from elevation?
relief is differ than elevation because of the landforms of the surface. this they may damage in California diagram because of the earth surface..
What is surface area and how you can decrease or increase surface area?
You can increase surface area by spreading the object
Find the surface area?
It depends on the surface area of what!
