Surface area is the total area covered by the outer surfaces of a three-dimensional object.
- It is obtained by adding the areas of all its faces or curved surfaces.
- It depends on the shape and dimensions of the object and is measured in square units such as cm² or m².
Surface area is widely used in various real-life fields to measure, design, and optimize objects and systems.
