a sphere
It is incorrect to say that sphere has lateral area. First sphere do not have sides like other geometric figure. In fact a line or plane can intersect the surface of a sphere in just one point. Sphere has no lateral side. It is enough to say surface area of sphere than lateral surface area of the sphere.
It is the surface area
You need to find the area of each two dimensional surface on the figure. Do you have a specific figure in mind?
A quadrilateral does not have a surface area because it is not a voluminous figure.
The answer is Area. The answer is Area.
a polygon
a ruler
isn't it called face?
The surface area of a space figure is the total area of all the faces of the figure
a sphere
curve surface area
Volume if it's a 3D figure and area if it's a 2D figure
A pentagon is a two-dimensional geometric figure and therefore has area but not volume. To have volume, a geometric figure must have height or thickness as well as its plane dimensions.
Surface area is all the areas for a 3 figure. Area is for only on side of a 3d figure
The geometric term for the number of square units needed to cover a surface is called the area of said surface.
