This video will take you through a series of objects from our studio. We show you how we look at them, compare them to geometric shapes, and use on-line calculators to figure out their surface area. Very little math is needed when using these calculators. However, you will need to know how to read a ruler.


Comments:

When you look at objects as geometric shapes or combinations of these shapes, it makes it much easier to tackle the problem of surface area. Once you know the surface area of an object, you can use our videos on estimating coverage to buy just the right amount!
