First of all, surface area is calculated for 3-d shapes. Does a paper clip qualify as a 3-d
shape? If yes, then the steps ten would involve:
1. measuring the length, width and the height of the paper clip. (being so small that should be fun). Of course measuring can be done with a ruler
2. after finding the above step, you can use the formula Surface Area = 2(lw +lh + hw)
3. or you can add up all the sides of the base 2(l + w) then multiply by the height. That would be the lateral area. Then multiply the length by the width then by 2. This would the area of the two base. After all that, add the lateral area figure to the figure from the area of the base
good luck

Does the surface of your area describe area or perimeter?
Kinda of a combination of both. The surface of a 3-D object is called surface area.
How does surface area different area?
surface area is basically the total area of each surface of the 3d object. Sa = 2-D A = 3-D
Does volume surface area have cm square?
Volume does not, surface area does.
Find the surface area of a plate?
surface area of glass plate
What is surface area of cube of 12cm?
Surface area equals 864cm2
What property of liquids will allow a paperclip to float on water?
surface tension
What is the hypothesis for paperclip floats in water?
One hypothesis will have to do with the surface tension of water.
Why a clip float in water?
Because the paperclip is not dense enough to break the surface tension of the water
What does a magnet do to a paperclip?
A paperclip attracts a magnet ,a magnet attracts a paperclip.
Why we were able to float a paper clip on the surface of water What type of bonds were present that allowed this to happen?
The reason that your paperclip was able to float on water, was due to the upthrust (The force that acts upwards due to water pressure) being greater than the weight of the weight (the downwards force due to mass x gravity) . The paper clip is less dense than water, and therefore will float.
Is a paperclip a rock or a mineral?
a paperclip is a mineral.
What is the surfqace area of a cylinder?
It is the surface area of the two ends plus the surface area of the curved surface. Surface area of each end is pir2 Surface area of the curved surface is 2pirh Total surface area = 2pir2 + 2pirh
What is the surface area is the sum of the areas of all the surfaces of a three dimensional object called?
The total surface area! The total surface area! The total surface area! The total surface area!
Does a paperclip float better in water or in midair?
In water because the higher density of molecules gives the paper clips a surface to rest on.
The surface area of a box when given the surface area height and peremeter?
It should be relatively easy to find the surface area of a box when you are given the surface area.
What is surface area and how you can decrease or increase surface area?
You can increase surface area by spreading the object
Is a paperclip a element or a compound?
a paperclip is an iron utensil,which is a element!
