Zaid Harrell · Answer 1

When you wrap a present you cover the "surface area" of your present. "Area" would not be specific enough and "lateral area" just means the sides of your present.

Marcus Fitzgerald · Answer 2

The answer would be surface area, because you need to know the area of the surface in order to get the right amount of wrapping paper.
