Area is a 2 dimensional quantity, finding it for something in three dimensions does not make sense. If you want to find an area-like quantity for 3 dimensional shapes, look into surface area, which is the area of each surface of the not flat shape.

What is the area and perimeter of a cylinder?
There is no perimeter of a circle. Only flat shapes have perimeters. You can however, find the circumference, surface area, and volume.
Why is area only calculated for a flat spape?
because for a 3d shape you use surface area which is the same except you calculate the area of each side and then add them together
What shape has flat faces?
There are many. All polyhedra have ONLY flat faces but many other shapes have flat faces such as a hemisphere or an octant or a cylinder.
Are the faces of a polyhedron all flat surfaces?
Yes and its flat surface faces are in regular shapes.
What dou you mean by 3d math shapes?
3 dimensional objects have volume and surface area whereas 2 dimensional shapes have only surface area
What shapes have only flat surfaces?
Shapes have flat surfaces in plane geometry. They can also be described as two dimensional shapes.
What is the area and perimeter of a cylinder?
There is no perimeter of a circle. Only flat shapes have perimeters. You can however, find the circumference, surface area, and volume.
What are 2D shapes?
2d shapes are shapes that can only be seen from the front unlike 3d shapes and they are flat
What are 2d-shapes?
2d shapes are shapes that can only be seen from the front unlike 3d shapes and they are flat
What 2d shape?
2d shapes are shapes that can only be seen from the front unlike 3d shapes and they are flat
What shape has only flat surfaces?
cube There are a great many solid shapes that have only flat surfaces.

What shapes have only one vertex?
i think the answer is a cone because it has a flat bottom
Are the faces of a polyhedron all flat surfaces?
Yes and its flat surface faces are in regular shapes.
Which is a 3d shape?
That will depend on what they are but in general 3D shapes have surface area and volume whereas 2D shapes have only surface area.
