Its total surface area.
The surface area of the 3-D figure will be the total of the areas of the 2-D figures.
No. An area is always two-dimensional. It doesn't matter whether you are talking about the area of a square, a circle, an ellipse, or any other flat figure; or the surface are of a three-dimensional figure such as a cube or sphere.
Surface area of three dimensional figures are measured in square units whereas their volumes are measured in cubic units
You need to find the area of each two dimensional surface on the figure. Do you have a specific figure in mind?
NO. This is the way to get the volume of a prism, not the surface area of any three-dimensional figure. To find the surface area of a three-dimensional figure, you must find the area of each of its faces and then add the side-areas together.
a solid figure
The answer is surface area.
TRUE: To find the surface area of a three dimensional figure, you must find the area of each of its faces and then add them together.
Its total surface area.
False.To find the surface area of a three-dimensional figure, find the area of the faces and add them together.
The surface area of the 3-D figure will be the total of the areas of the 2-D figures.
The term area is generally reserved for a two-dimensional polygon, but surface area is the term of the area of the different surfaces on a three-dimensional figure---the faces on the object. So no, they are not the same.
Surface area concerns a 3-dimensional figure such as a cube or sphere. Area concerns a 2-dimensional figure such as a square or circle.
... face and add them together.
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
