The formula to find the surface area depends on the shape. However, you can find the area of each face of the shape, then add them all together. This concept of surface area can be used in the real world, and is everyday. When drawing blueprints or building a house, architects need to calculate surface area.
you first have to break up the surface of the shape into smaller shapes so that they are easier to work with. you then calculate all of the shapes and add them together. this can be used in the real world to find the area of houses when you need to find how much space an area of the house has.
