If you mean the surface area of geometric figures, that depends on the figure you are working with. For example, for a rectangle, just multiply the length (in inches) by the width (in inches). The answer will be the area, in square inches.

There are formulae for the areas of polygons: fairly straightforward in the case of regular polygons but in the case of irregular polygons you may need to partition them into triangles, find the area of each part and add up the components. There are also formulae for areas of circles and ellipses so if the shape in question can be partitioned into a rectangle with a triangular "roof" and a semicircular bulge, you can calculate their areas separately and add them together.
