Surface Area
Surface area and volume can be calculated for any three-dimensional (3D)geometrical shape. The surface of any area is the region occupied by the surface of an object. The volume is the amount of space available in an object. We have different types of shapes like a hemisphere, sphere, cube, cuboid, cylinder, etc. All three-dimensional shapes have area and volume. But two – dimensional shapes like squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, etc.
Here in two – dimensional, we can only measure the area. The area occupied by a three-dimensional object by its outer surface is called the surface area. It is measured in square units.
The area is of two types:
- Total Surface Area
- Curved Surface Area/Lateral Surface Area
Surface Areas and Volumes
Three dimensions can be measured, length, width, and height, for any object that you can see or touch. There are certain dimensions of our home that we live in. The rectangular display screen/Monitor you’re looking at has a width and breadth of its length. For every three-dimensional geometrical structure, surface area and volume are measured.
Aera covered by the object’s surface is the surface area of any given object. Whereas the quantity of space available in an object is volume.
