Find the surface area?
It depends on the surface area of what!
How would you find the surface area of a chair?
150 square ft
How do you calculate the surface area of a cone?
find the surface area of the cone and add it to the surface area of the base so the formula would be pi radius s plus pi radius squared
How do you find a surface area?
Lenght X width = surface area
How do you calculate the surface-area-to-volume-ratio?
The surface-area-to-volume ratio may be calculated as follows: -- Find the surface area of the shape. -- Find the volume of the shape. -- Divide the surface area by the volume. The quotient is the surface-area-to-volume ratio.
Find the total surface area of this object?
whats the object
How do you find the surface area of a simple object?
if you are finding the surface area of a cube, first find the area of one side by multiplying length X width and then multiply the area of one side of the cube by 6. that would be the surface area of the cube
Formula to work out the surface area of any object?
Calculus can be used to find the surface area of any object given that you know the equation describing said object. It's usually easier to find the area from experiment or through using a combination of existing models to approximate the surface area
How does the surface area differ from area?
The diff is that SA (SURFACE AREA) is the area of the entire figure like a cube you would find the whole area of the firgure not the face. Area is the amount of space an object takes like a field to find out how much space it takes. :)
How do you find the surface?
If you want to find the surface of something, you must first specify which shape or object you wish to find the surface of, and need to say which area you are looking for, Lateral or Total surface area. Then someone will be able to answer your question.
Is surface area area or perimeter?
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.
How do you find the surface area of a 3d object?
It depends, but in let's look at a simple example to help you see how. How would you find the surface area of a cube. Find the surface area of one of the faces and since there are six of those, multiply it by 6. For example, a 2x2x2 cube. Each face has a surface area of 4 and there are 6 of them so the total surface area is 24 units. We do the same thing with other 3d objects, but it may be harder to find the surface area of faces. In face, sometimes there are no faces and we may need calculus to find the surface area.
Why would you need to find the area of an object?
that would be specific to the object involved. for example, if you needed to find the surface area of the inside of a cylinder in an engine, i could help you find out how much that cylinder can displace, helping you find horsepower for that cylinder. then you could multiply that number by the number of cylinders the engine has to give you the total horsepower of the engine.
How do you determine the surface area of an object?
You find the area for every single side of the object (base x height) and sum it up to get the surface area. For example: to find the surface area of a cube, you would use the formula of 6a^2 (or 6 x a x a). To further explain that: because a cube has 6 identical sides and the measurement of base and height are equal (a = length of one leg) you would multiply the base(a) by the height(a) and times it by 6 stating that there are 6 areas of that area measurement to find the surface area. Remember that 6a^2 only works for cube because it is made up of 6 identical side areas where you would not find in prisms or pyramids. Good luck :)
How do you find the surface area of square?
if a 2d object, height x width. if a 3d object, height x width x 6.
What is the difference between volume of solid figure and surface area of a solid figure?
Volume is how much an object can store - like how much can you put inside a box. Surface area is the sum of the area of an objects surfaces - such as if you have a box, find the area of one side. Then you just multiply it by 6 (because a box have 6 faces) to get the total area of an object's surface.
How would you find the surface area of a prism?
get a maths book!!
