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.
No. Perimeter does not uniquely define surface area.
Example:
Perimeter = 36
If it's a square with sides = 9, then area = 92 = 81
If it's a rectangle measuring 12 by 6, then area = 72
If it's a...
No the area is when you are dealing with a 2-dimensional figure. Surface area formulas vary depending on if the object is a rectangular prism, a pyramid, a cone, or a triangular prism. a.k.a. the...
The term area is generally reserved for a two-dimensional polygon, but surface area is the term of the area of the different surfaces on a three-dimensional figure---the faces on the object. So no,...
