Area is a 2 dimensional quantity, finding it for something in three dimensions does not make sense. If you want to find an area-like quantity for 3 dimensional shapes, look into surface area, which is the area of each surface of the not flat shape.

What is the area and perimeter of a cylinder?

There is no perimeter of a circle. Only flat shapes have perimeters. You can however, find the circumference, surface area, and volume.

What shape has only flat surfaces?

cube There are a great many solid shapes that have only flat surfaces.


What shapes have only flat surfaces?

Well, honey, shapes that have only flat surfaces are called polygons. Think of your squares, triangles, and pentagons - they're all as flat as a pancake. So, if you're looking for some dimensionless divas, polygons are where it's at.


Why is area only calculated for a flat spape?

because for a 3d shape you use surface area which is the same except you calculate the area of each side and then add them together


How many ways are 2D and 3D shapes different?

2D shapes are flat and have only two dimensions—length and width—while 3D shapes include depth, adding a third dimension. This allows 3D shapes to occupy physical space, whereas 2D shapes are confined to a plane. Additionally, 3D shapes can have volume and surface area, whereas 2D shapes are characterized by perimeter and area. Examples include squares and circles for 2D shapes, and cubes and spheres for 3D shapes.


What shape has flat faces?

There are many. All polyhedra have ONLY flat faces but many other shapes have flat faces such as a hemisphere or an octant or a cylinder.


What shapes have only one vertex?

Are the faces of a polyhedron all flat surfaces?

Yes and its flat surface faces are in regular shapes.


Which is a 3d shape?

That will depend on what they are but in general 3D shapes have surface area and volume whereas 2D shapes have only surface area.
