Describe surface area
1 answer
Surface area is the measurement of the total area that covers the surface of an object or shape. It is the sum of all the individual areas of the surfaces of an object. Surface area is typically measured in square units, such as square meters or square feet. It is an important measurement in mathematics and geometry, as it helps determine the amount of material needed to cover or paint an object, or the amount of heat that can be transferred through the surface of an object.
