Which unit of measurement should be used to find the surface area?

A unit of measurement can't help you find the surface area. You must do that on
your own, using whatever method and equipment seem most appropriate for the
situation. After you've found the surface area, THEN you decide which unit of
measurement to use to describe it. You should select the unit that produces the
most convenient number ... the number that's easiest to write down, remember,
tell other people about, and spot a mistake if you write it incorrectly. Whatever
unit you choose, it will always be the square of a length unit.

Why cant you find an exact surface area measurement for a prism and pyramid but for a cylinder?
You can find the exact surface area for all of those shapes.
Can you find the exact measurement of a cylinder?
What do you mean by "exact measurement"? Do you wish to determine the cylinder's height? Its diameter? Its surface area? Its volume?
How do you find the area of something using width length depth?
Area is a plane or surface measurement. Depth is not required. Multiply the length by the width.
How do you find the surface area of a triangular surface?
to find the surface area you have to first find the area of each part then add the areas together.
How does geometry helps in measuring height and distance?
Because there is a strong relationship between geometry and measurement, an understanding of geometry can contribute to an understanding of measurement, and vice versa. ... Use measurement formulas to find the volume and surface area of geometric solids.

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 do you find the area with a missing measurement?
To find the missing measurement of a shape you have to look at the opposite side and see what it adds up to. Then you make that side and the other missing side add up to the opposite side

Find the surface area?
It depends on the surface area of what!
What is the formula of surface area?
Times the length by the width of a floor to find the area in square measurement.12ft x 10ft = 120sq ft (could be written thus: 120ft2)

How do you determine the surface area of an object?
You find the area for every single side of the object (base x height) and sum it up to get the surface area. For example: to find the surface area of a cube, you would use the formula of 6a^2 (or 6 x a x a). To further explain that: because a cube has 6 identical sides and the measurement of base and height are equal (a = length of one leg) you would multiply the base(a) by the height(a) and times it by 6 stating that there are 6 areas of that area measurement to find the surface area. Remember that 6a^2 only works for cube because it is made up of 6 identical side areas where you would not find in prisms or pyramids. Good luck :)
What is the amount of space needed to cover something?
That would be called surface area. The way to calculate surface area varies depending on the shape of the surface. A quick google search such as "how to find surface area of a sphere" should solve your dilemma.
How do you find surface area and volume of nets?
i think you should ask Wiki answers
