How does surface area differ from area?
s area is on three dimensional objects, but area is on two dimensional objects.
How does surface area differ from the area?
Area is for two-dimensional shapes, like rectangles or squares, and surface area is for three-dimensional shapes, like pyramids and cylinders.
What geometric objects occupies two deminsions?
Two dimensional shapes have only surface area such as polygons whereas three dimensional shapes have surface area and volume such as polyhedrons.
What is the difference between area and surface area?
Area is the measure of a two-dimensional space enclosed by a shape, and surface area is the sum of all the areas of the faces of a three-dimensional solid.
How does knowing the area of two-dimensional figures help you find the surface area of a three-dimensional shape?
The surface area of the 3-D figure will be the total of the areas of the 2-D figures.

To find the surface area of a three dimensional figure what do you have to find?
You need to find the area of each two dimensional surface on the figure. Do you have a specific figure in mind?
What is the surface area of an octagon?
First of all, you did not provide measurements for the octagon. Second, surface area is meant for three-dimensional figures. Octagons are two-dimensional.
Is surface area the same as area?
The term area is generally reserved for a two-dimensional polygon, but surface area is the term of the area of the different surfaces on a three-dimensional figure---the faces on the object. So no, they are not the same.

The surface area of the 3-D figure will be the total of the areas of the 2-D figures.
The amount of surface inside a two dimensional figure?
That's the area.
Is surface area the same as volume?
No. How can they be the same, if one of them is a two-dimensional measure, the other a three-dimensional measure.
Why do two dimensional maps of the earth have distortion?
The surface area pf the Earth is on a sphere, not a flat surface.
What is the difference of surface area and area?
surface area is the like the area of the outside of a 3 dimensional figure, area is the measure of what is inside a 2 dimensional
