| − | Surface area is the total amount of space that all of the surfaces of an object take up. It is the sum of the area of all the surfaces of that object.<ref name="rf1">http://www.math.com/tables/geometry/surfareas.htm</ref> Finding the surface area of a three-dimensional shape is moderately easy as long as you know the correct formula. Each shape has its own separate formula, so you'll first need to identify the shape you’re working with. Memorizing the surface area formula for various objects can make calculations easier in the future. Here are a few of the most common shapes you might encounter.
