Answer:
Surface area is the sum of the areas of all faces (or surfaces) on a 3D shape. A cuboid has 6 rectangular faces. To find the surface area of a cuboid, add the areas of all 6 faces. We can also label the length (l), width (w), and height (h) of the prism and use the formula, SA=2lw+2lh+2hw, to find the surface area.
Explanation:
Surface area means, basically the outside of the shape, faces is a fancy way schools use to say sides, for example a cuboid, these look like rectangles but 3D, It has 6 "faces" or sides. And it also has 12 edges. With my school, they usually fill the 3D shapes with cubes to have a way to estimate the size, or they might write it on the sides like 2D shapes. Prisim means a 3D shape that has 2 faces that are the exact same, like a 2D rectangle. Which is a look-alike to the cuboid. SA=2lw+2lh+2hw might look , difficult but it means SA=surface answer, 2LW means length with, 2LH means length hight, and 2HW means hight width.
