If the surface is small enough, the length of each edge can be taken using a ruler or tape measure. If the surface is too large, say, the side of a building, you can use trigonometry. eg: for a building, take a point a known distance from the building's base and measure the angle from that point to the top. the building's height is

tan(angle) x distance from base

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.

Is a cube a flat surface of a solid?

No, a cube is not a flat surface; it is a three-dimensional solid object with six square faces, twelve edges, and eight vertices. Each face of the cube is flat, but the cube itself occupies space in three dimensions. Thus, while it has flat surfaces, it is not considered flat as a whole.
