Having to know how to find teh surface area is one thing that you may need to know more than you think you do. Have you ever wanted to pain your house?? Or put up wall paper or more than one wall?? Inoreder to figure out how much pain or wall paper you need you would have to find the are of all of the walls you are painting and add them together. Little did you know you were finding the surface area! I wish there was an easier way to find surface area than adding the area of all sides but that how the formulas are made up. some have short cuts that involve multiplying by a number if a number of sides are the same size!
Although most of it looks complicated, its not!!! It's just a bunch of parts that you add together to get a final answer. Its always easy to take smaller parts to make whole than to have to deal with a huge problem!
