No, they are two different things. Area encompasses the total object while Surface Area only encompasses what it implies. For instance, if you had a box, the Area would be the total size of the box, while Surface Area would only indicate the size of the top of the box. no. area is Lenth times width and surface area is what the area of the whole object.
What else can I help you with?
How are volume and surface area the same when volume stays the same?
There is no reason for the surface area to remain the same even if the volume is the same.
Which has more surface area a rectangular prisms or rectangular pyramid?
For the same base dimensions (base area) and the same height, the rectangular prism has more surface area.
Is the area and surface area of a trapezoid the same?
Yes. The term "surface area" as normally used for 3-dimensional objects but that does not alter its meaning. The two measures are the same.
How does surface area different from area?
Surface area is the area of all the sides of a 3D object, but area could be anything. e.g. Area is the surface of a 2D object or if you say the area of all the sides, it means the same as Surface area. -----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=-----= By Austin from Covenant Christian School
Are polygons congruent if they have the same surface area?
No, not necessarily.
Definition of surface area?
It is the area of the exposed surface. So if you take a cube, the surface area is the sum of the areas of each of the 6 faces. They are all the same in the case of a cube. In general, add up the surface area of each exposed surface and this is the total surface area.
How do you find the surface area of a hexagon?
The surface area of a hexagon is the same as its area. You will normally need to split the hexagon into triangles, find their area and sum these.
The area of the planet mars?
The surface area of Mars is 144,798,500 km2. This is about the same as all the above sea-level surface area of Earth.
What hemisphear has the most area?
All four hemispheres have the same area . . . half of the Earth's surface area.
A sphere with a diameter of 16mm has the same surface areas the total?
A surface area of 804.2 cm2
Why do planets that are the same size have different surface area?
If you are referring to two planets of the same MASS, then the difference in surface area would probably be due to their relative densities. If one planet is composed of denser matter than the other, then the same mass would take up a smaller volume, and thus the surface area would be smaller.
What dimentions do you need to get the same surface area as volume?
The depth would have to have a value of 1. For example, a slab 60" long by 24" wide by 1" deep would have the same surface area as volume. Examples: Area = LxW (60x24=1440 sq inches). Volume = LXWXD (60x24x1=1440 cubic inches). In this case, the volume has the same value as the surface area
As a cell becomes larger what happens to its surface area and volume?
The Volume increases faster than the Surface Area
As a cell increases in size the a. metabolic rate increases. b. surface area to volume ratio increases. c. volume increases and the surface area increases. d. surface area increases and the volume d?
As a cell increases in size the volume increases much faster than the surface area. The possible answer is C.
Does the diameter surface area and circumference affect the heat loss?
yes heat loss is affected by diameter, circumference and surface area. Heat loss depends on the surface area : volume ratio.......the larger this is the more heat is lost if a cylinder having the same volume but a different surface area...(therefre radius and circumference is different)........the cylinder having the larger surface area will loose heat fastest
How does surface area affect diffusion rate?
Diffusion is the movement of particles across a selectively permeable membrane, from a high concentration to a low concentration. So the larger the surface area, the quicker the rate of diffusion because there is more space to diffuse in.
Does the shape of an ice cube impact its melting?
It depends, the ice cube can have the same amount of water in it but if its flatter or if it has a greater surface area it will melt faster than one with less surface area.
