The surface area measures the outside of a three-dimensional shape.

Surface area measures the outside of a three-dimensional shape.

Surface area measures the outside of a three-dimensional shape. To find the surface area of a shape, you need to calculate the sum of the areas of all its individual faces. Each face is a two-dimensional shape, so by finding the area of each face and adding them together, you can determine the total surface area.
