Plinth area is the area at which a given structure rests while the built up area includes the structure as well as the land.
Interesting question. "Plinth" is not a defined term in solid geometry. A plinth can be the base of a statue or the foundation of a dam. The base of a statue could be a simple rectangular column, or a more complicated shape. Suppose it is a square column, with each side s and the height h. The area of each side would be hs, and the area of the top is s2. You can't see the bottom, so we won't count it. There are 4 sides, so the total surface area is: Ap = s2 + 4hs The related link below shows how to make a drawing of a more complicated plinth. Note: there are four videos to show the whole process!
length x width = area
A practical need to calculate surface area arises, for example, when you need to paint your house. The amount of paint you need is proportional to the surface area you want to paint.
