+444 What is the diffrence between surface area and latheral surface area?
+129852 In general
"Surface" area usuall refers to total surface area of an object
"Lateral" surface area is the total area less the areas of the "top" and "bottom" of an object
For example....the lateral surface area of a soup can is just the area of the label
The total surface area also includes the area of the top and bottom
