Define Surface Area

A. The number of units a plane figure covers.

B. The total area of all faces of a solid figure.

C. The distance around the outside of a figure.

D. The amount a solid figure can hold.

B - The total area of all faces of a soild figure

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i. e., objects with flat polygonal faces), for which the surface area is the sum of the areas of its faces. Smooth surfaces, such as a sphere, are assigned surface area using their representation as parametric surfaces. This definition of surface area is based on methods of infinitesimal calculus and involves partial derivatives and double integration.
