Yes

OpenStudy (taylor0402):

It depends on what the figure is because there are different formulas for different figures

can you help me?

OpenStudy (taylor0402):

Yes

In general, the surface area is the sum of all the areas of all the shapes that cover the surface of the object.

Since these are all the same, you can multiply one of them by six, so the surface area of a cube is 6 times one of the sides squared. In words, the surface area of a rectangular prism is the area of the six rectangles that cover it.
