surface area can be calculated by covering the object with a paper or cloth and then measuring its area. cloth or paper's area can be easily calculated through simple mathematics formulas. also if problem occurs in the calculation due to shape divide the cloth in pieces to get the area.

Depends what you are measuring.

For a simple, flat plane, rectangular, it's length times breadth.

For a sphere is 4 x pi x r squared. Where r is the radius of the sphere.
