For many figures, there are known formulae - you can use one of those. Otherwise, if it has flat faces, you can calculate the area of each of its faces, and add them all up.
Otherwise, if it is curved (e.g., a sphere), you can divide the surface up into lots of small pieces, of which each will be approximately flat, and add them up. This is (basically) the process called "integration".
You need to find the area of each two dimensional surface on the figure. Do you have a specific figure in mind?
NO. This is the way to get the volume of a prism, not the surface area of any three-dimensional figure. To find the surface area of a three-dimensional figure, you must find the area of each of its faces and then add the side-areas together.
a solid figure
The answer is surface area.
TRUE: To find the surface area of a three dimensional figure, you must find the area of each of its faces and then add them together.
Yes, to find the surface area of a three-dimensional figure, you need to calculate the area of each face or surface of the figure. Once you have the area of all the individual faces, you simply sum these areas together to get the total surface area. This process can vary depending on the shape of the figure, such as a cube, cylinder, or sphere, as each has its own specific formulas for calculating face areas.
The sum of the areas of the faces of a three-dimensional figure is called the surface area. It represents the total area that the surface of the object occupies. Surface area is important in various applications, including material estimation and heat transfer calculations.
False.To find the surface area of a three-dimensional figure, find the area of the faces and add them together.
The surface area of a space figure is the total area of all the faces of the figure
Its total surface area.
... face and add them together.
Surface area is all the areas for a 3 figure. Area is for only on side of a 3d figure
