It is the area of its foot-print.
A square centimeter is an area ... a definite amount of the surface of a tabletop,a wall, a piece of paper, a floor, a board, a cloth, a ball, etc.It can be long and skinny, round, oval, triangular, or have a wiggly and irregular outlinelike a blob. But the total amount of surface that it covers is always the same amountas a square with sides that are 1 centimeter long. No matter what shape it is, it takesthe same amount of paint or glue to cover it.
a polygon
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)
Cone
It depends on the type of figure. If it is a 2D figure, then it is called area. If it is a 3D figure, then it is called volume.
Area
-- The amount of paper you'd have if you cut the figure out. -- The amount of carpet you need to completely cover the figure.

area
That's the area.
The measure of a planar region or open surface is referred to as area. It quantifies the amount of space a flat surface covers.
Water covers about 71% of Earth's surface
Antarctica covers 10% of the earth's surface.
you are surface
That's the figure's "area".
A a solid figure on a flat surface is a plane figure (I do believe)
No state covers 40% of the world's land surface.
