A face is an individual, flat, "skin" stretched over a series of edges that are co-planar, form a closed loop, and are free from stray edges that protrude within the bounded area. A face is one of two kinds of "primitive" or "raw" geometry in SU, the other being edges. Faces have no thickness.
A "surface" is a compound skin consisting of two or more abutting faces with the common edges (edges supporting two faces are "common") softened and smoothed so that the resulting surface is contoured (non-flat), but in other ways appears continuous and regular and typically accepts an applied material as though it were a true face. "Soften" means to suppress the display of an edge (similar to hiding)

True or false it is easier to use in-line skates when the surface is rough?
True, but only to a point. If the surface is too rough debris can get lodged between the wheels causing them to lock up. Which generally will lead to your face meeting the previously mentioned rough surface. However if the surface is not rough enough then it is difficult for the wheels to get a grip on the surface. Which usually will also lead to a meeting between the very smooth surface and your face.
What is the Suface area of 4 cubes joined together?
Assuming they are joined full face to full face, the surface area is between 16 and 18 times the area of one face.
Each surface of a polyhedron is called?
Each surface of a polyhedron is called a face.
What is the difference between the area of each face on a box added up and the surface area of a box?
The surface area of a box is the sum of the areas of the individual faces. If that's what you said, then there is no difference.
One circular face and one face which is half the surface of a sphere?
