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 is the sum of the area of all the faces of a three dimensional shape?
surface area
What is An enclosed two-dimensional area defined by line or a contour edge?
It is a closed plane shape.
What instrument is used to find the area?
To measure the area of an arbitrary two dimensional shape you will use a planimeter. To measure an area you could also just use a simple ruler depending on how big the area is.
What is similar between area and perimeter?
Very little. The only two things that they have in common are that they are normally associated with two dimensional figures and that their measures depend on the measures of the sides (or other dimensions, such as radii) of the shape in question. An area is a two dimensional characteristics of the shape, a perimeter is 1 dimensional; there is very little association between area and perimeter - you can have very tiny areas with huge perimeters eg a 0.00001m * 1000m rectangle would have an area smaller than an A4 sheet of paper, but would have a perimeter of just over 2 kilometres.
