Why is area only calculated for flat shapes?
Area is a 2 dimensional quantity, finding it for something in three dimensions does not make sense. If you want to find an area-like quantity for 3 dimensional shapes, look into surface area, which is the area of each surface of the not flat shape.
What is the area and perimeter of a cylinder?
There is no perimeter of a circle. Only flat shapes have perimeters. You can however, find the circumference, surface area, and volume.
What is the circumference of a table if the area is 28.26?
If the table is circular, then its circumference is 18.845 (rounded) If it's not a circle, then the circumference can't be calculated knowing only the area.
Is a plane a flat surface?
Yes, but only if you divide the surface area of the plane by the legnth of it. Make sure to square your answer.
How does a 2D shape look different from a 3D shape?
A 2D shape is flat and only has a surface area whereas a 3D shape is an object that has surface area and volume.

What is the difference between flat rate and reducible interest?
Reducible interest means that one only pays interest on the balance of money owing at the end of the month. Flat rate means that interest is calculated on the original load. Reducible interest rate is approx. equal to twice the flat interest rate.
Where are Colorados mountains located?
Colorado is mostly covered in mountains. The only area that is not is the southeastern section of the state, since the land in that area is all flat and is found in the area of the US that is marked "Tornado Alley"
How do you calculate the volume of a triangle if you only have the height and density?
A triangle is a flat area, therefore it has a surface area, not a volume. Density is unrelated to the problem; you would need some additional information to calculate the surface area.
How many centimeters are equal to square feet?
The length centimeter has nothing to do with an area of square feet. Only square centimeters or square feet could be a solution, if you mean a flat area.
What can you say about flat tires?

Why the metal strip should be flat or wire be kink free in screw gauge?
if the strip will flat we can measure its thickness easily but if it is not flat i.e. its surface is irregular then it will thick only from some points and its other area will be thin and we cannot measure its thickness easily.same is the reason for wire.
