 Surface area is the total area that the surface of an object occupies. In simpler terms, you can think of it as the amount of space on the outside of a 3-dimensional object. To find the surface area of a simple shape, like a cube, you would calculate the area of each of its six faces and then add those areas together. The formula for surface area varies depending on the shape of the object.
