Is the total area the same as the surface area?
Yes.Conventionally, total area is usually used for the area of a complicated 2-dimensional shape where the area of smaller shapes are calculated and added together. The surface area usually refers to a 3-dimensional object for which the areas of the faces are calculated and added together.Yes.Conventionally, total area is usually used for the area of a complicated 2-dimensional shape where the area of smaller shapes are calculated and added together.

What two shapes have the same number or faces?
pentagonal prism
Is surface area the same as area?
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.
Are Faces and bases the same thing?
Yes. A face is a flat surface of a cube, prism, etc. A base is the same.
How do you find the surface area of prisms?
firrst u need to find the perimeter of the bases...length of one side by the number of sides...then multiply it by the heigt :) * * * * * That is just so not correct. The periimeter has absolutely nothing to do with the area. A prism consists of two parallel bases which are n-sided polygons and n rectangular faces which need not be of the same size. Step 1. Calculate the area of the base and multiply by 2. Step 2. Calculate the area of each of the rectangular faces. If the bases are regular polygons, then the rectangular faces will all be the same and you can simply multiply the area of one of the faces by n. Step 3. Add together the answers from Step 1 and Step 2.
