Formula to work out the surface area of any object?
Calculus can be used to find the surface area of any object given that you know the equation describing said object. It's usually easier to find the area from experiment or through using a combination of existing models to approximate the surface area
How do you find the surface area of a 3d object?
It depends, but in let's look at a simple example to help you see how. How would you find the surface area of a cube. Find the surface area of one of the faces and since there are six of those, multiply it by 6. For example, a 2x2x2 cube. Each face has a surface area of 4 and there are 6 of them so the total surface area is 24 units. We do the same thing with other 3d objects, but it may be harder to find the surface area of faces. In face, sometimes there are no faces and we may need calculus to find the surface area.
Is surface area area or perimeter?
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.
How do you find the surface area of square?
if a 2d object, height x width. if a 3d object, height x width x 6.
What is the difference between volume of solid figure and surface area of a solid figure?
Volume is how much an object can store - like how much can you put inside a box. Surface area is the sum of the area of an objects surfaces - such as if you have a box, find the area of one side. Then you just multiply it by 6 (because a box have 6 faces) to get the total area of an object's surface.
