There is no standard formula since a polyhedron can have a number of different shapes.
A hexahendron, for example, can be a cuboid (6 rectangular faces) or a triangular dipyramid (6 triangular faces) or others. The number of different shapes increases rapidly as the number of sides (which determines the name) increases. The only solution is to calculate the area of each face and add them together.

How can the surface area of a polyhedron be found?
Find the surface area of each face then add them together to give the total surface area.
What is the formula for finding the surface area of a triangular prism?
find the area of all the faces then add them all up. this is how you get surface area and there isn't any formula for it
What is the formula of surface area of a rectangle?
Length x Width x Height = surface area
What is a formula to work out the surface area of a quadrilateral?
A quadrilateral does not have a surface area because it is not a voluminous figure.
How do you do formula for surface area using sphere?
Surface area of a sphere = 4*pi*radius2
What is the flat surface of polyhedron called?
It is called the surface area.
In finding the surface area it is helpful to separate the polyhedron's surface area into the base area and the height?
False...
In finding the surface area it is helpful to seperate the polyhedron's surface area into the base area and the lateral area?
True.
In finding the surface area it is helpful to separate the polyhedron's surface area into the base area and the lateral area?
The answer is TRUE.
What is The sum of the areas of a polyhedron's faces is?
the surface area
How can the surface area of a polyhedron be found?
Find the surface area of each face then add them together to give the total surface area.
What is the sum of the areas of a polyhedron's faces?
Its total surface area.
How can you find the surface area of a polyhedron?
Add up the surface area of each of the polygonal faces. There may be a short cut available if it is a regular polyhedron so that all the polygons are the same.
The surface area of a polyhedron is found by?
Sum the areas of each face.
How do you find the surface area of ANY 3D solid?
The surface area of a polyhedron can be calculated by first calculating the area of each of its polygonal surfaces and adding these together.The surface area of some curved solids (sphere, cylinder, cone) can be calculated from formula but for most curved solids are more complicated and require integration.
The surface area of a polyhedron can be found by?
multiplying the perimeter of the base by the height and adding the area of both bases. sum of the area of its faces * * * * * The first answer works only for a prism, not for polyhedra in general.
The surface area formula for a right cone is the same as the surface area formula for an oblique cone?
False. The surface area formula for a right cone is not the same as the surface area formula for an oblique cone.
