∙ 2013-03-22 23:05:22The total surface area!
The flat surface of any three dimensional object is called a face; a prism is a three dimensional object.A tetrahedron has 4 faces, a cube has 6 faces, an octahedron has 8 faces, etc.
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.
Two. Considering this is a two-dimensional object, cut out of a piece of paper it would have two flat surfaces, the front and the back. If your talking a about a sphere, the three-dimensional object of a circle, it has no flat surfaces considering it is round.
cube, prism, pyramid, cone, cylinder, etc.
It is the total surface area.
In geometry, a circle is a two-dimensional object, so it does not have a surface. Only three-dimensional objects have surfaces. A disc is a flat, circular three-dimensional object.

Surface Area is technically the same as area if we are dealing with 2-dimensional surfaces. But, it is mostly used to find an area of a 3-dimensional object.

A polyhedron.

A box is not any kind of surface because a box is a 3-dimensional object whereas a surface is 2 dimensional.
on a 3D object to find the surface is to look on all flat surfaces. yourwelcome
