Surface Area is technically the same as area if we are dealing with 2-dimensional surfaces. But, it is mostly used to find an area of a 3-dimensional object.
3-dimensional is not flat, like a cardboard box, while 2-dimensional shape is flat, like a face of a 3-D shape.e.g, a face of a box.
A triangle by definition only has 2 dimensions.
The surface area of the 3-D figure will be the total of the areas of the 2-D figures.
multiply length x width x height.

Add the areas of the 6 sides and then multiply this answer by 2 to yield the combined area as there is a back and a front to each side. Area is 2-dimensional: height x width.

A box is not any kind of surface because a box is a 3-dimensional object whereas a surface is 2 dimensional.
multiply length x width x height.
Area is a 2-dimensional measure. Perimeter is 1-dimensional and volume is 3-dimensional.
3-dimensional rectangle.
Volume is 3 dimensional, and Area is 2 dimensional.
surface area is the like the area of the outside of a 3 dimensional figure, area is the measure of what is inside a 2 dimensional
Yes, it's not 3 dimensional unless it is a box. Everything that is flat on paper is 2 dimensional.
