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.
When asked to work out the lengths of its edges and its surface area.
You will need to find the surface area of each face and add them together.
to find the surface area of the triangle we just need to multiply the length with breath. area=lengthXbreadth
To calculate the surface area of an object, you need to determine the area of each individual face or surface and then sum them up. For example, to find the surface area of a cube, you can calculate the area of one face (side) and then multiply it by 6 (since a cube has six equal-sized faces). For a sphere, the formula is 4πr^2, where r is the radius.
