== == A can is a regular cylinder. It's surface area can be found by finding the area of the ends (finding the area of one end and doubling it) and by finding the area of the side of the can. The ends are circles. The area of a circle is pi times the square of the radius Areacircle = pi x r2 [If you have the diameter of the can, r = d / 2] Find that area and double it. The side surface area of a right cylinder is found by finding the circumference of the cylinder and multiplying by its height. (Think of it as taking the cylinder and cutting it straight up the seam, unrolling the can and finishing the exercise by flattening it out to end up with a rectangle.) Areaside = C x h C = pi x diameter or pi x (2 times the radius) h = Height of can Given the height and the diameter of a can, these ideas can be applied to find its total surface area.

What is the surface area is the sum of the areas of all the surfaces of a three dimensional object called?
The total surface area! The total surface area! The total surface area! The total surface area!
The surface area of a box when given the surface area height and peremeter?
It should be relatively easy to find the surface area of a box when you are given the surface area.
Find the surface area?
It depends on the surface area of what!

Definition of surface area?
It is the area of the exposed surface. So if you take a cube, the surface area is the sum of the areas of each of the 6 faces. They are all the same in the case of a cube. In general, add up the surface area of each exposed surface and this is the total surface area.
