you need measurements to figure out surface area. the simplest way to figure out the whole area of a dodecahedron is to find the surface area of one pentagon, then multiply by 12 (the number of sides of a dodecahedron)
a polygon
Cone
It is the area of its foot-print.
Area is used to find the amount of square units insided of a 1- dimensional figure. The formula is: Length x Width= area Surface is quite different. Think of it this way. You have a cardboard box. If you cut each seam of the box and found the area of each section, added them together, you would have the surface area. The formula is: (Length x width x 2)+(width x height x 2)+(height x length x 2)= Surface area

A a solid figure on a flat surface is a plane figure (I do believe)
the surface inscribed in a plan figure

The surface area of a space figure is the total area of all the faces of the figure
Yeah, figure out the pattern before just going on them.
That depends on the figure whose surface area and volume you're finding. You could try a Google search for "volume of [figure name]" or "surface area of [figure name]".
It is often referred to as a "net." In higher-level mathematics, especially topology, the word "surface" can be used.
You need to find the area of each two dimensional surface on the figure. Do you have a specific figure in mind?
The flat surface of a solid figure is called a face. For example, a rectangular prism has 6 flat surfaces and therefore 6 faces.
Well it matters if you put it in a 3-dimensional or a 2-dimensional figure because if you turn it into a 3-dimensional figure the the surface would have a flat surface with volume and area.If you draw a quad in 2-D then the figure you draw is the surface.
A plane figure.
