How does surface area differ from the area?
Area is for two-dimensional shapes, like rectangles or squares, and surface area is for three-dimensional shapes, like pyramids and cylinders.
How do you find an area of an unusual shape?
You divide the shape into smaller shapes you can calculate, like rectangles and triangles. If the shape is irregular, you have to approximate, for example by dividing it into many narrow rectangles. This technique is called "integration".
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.
How do you use quadrilaterals in math?
Quadrilaterals are four-sided shapes that have a lot of use in math, like using them to determine the area of more complicated shapes.
What is the formula of the tetrahedron?
There can be no formula for a tetrahedron since you have not specified what aspect the formula is supposed to calculate. Furthermore, although they are all triangular pyramids, tetrahedra can be tall, needle-like shapes or almost flat shapes.

How does the surface area differ from area?
The diff is that SA (SURFACE AREA) is the area of the entire figure like a cube you would find the whole area of the firgure not the face. Area is the amount of space an object takes like a field to find out how much space it takes. :)

How can you find the area of an irregular shape like a lake?
To find the area, first divide the shape into regular, simple shapes. Then use formulas to find the area of the smaller, regular shapes. Lastly, add up all the smaller areas to find the area of the original shape.

How do you calculate square meter?
Measure the length and the width in meters. The length multiplied by the width gives the area in square meters. * * * * * That only works for rectangular shapes and there is nothing in the question that makes such an assumption valid.! There are different formulae for some other shapes. For some shapes there are no formulae and different methods need to be employed.

What shapes do kids like?
kids like all shapes!
Distance from a v-t graph?
yes, if you have a graph with a line....take a look at the picture I linked. ok so the distance covered is simply the area of the graph. do you know how to calculate the area of unusual shapes like this one?? if you don't, you simply divide the shape into 3 parts: two triangles and the square. the find the area of each one and add them together. the area is measured in metres.
