Curved Surfaces

Curved surfaces are surfaces that bend or turn, rather than remaining flat. Think of a sphere (like a ball), a cylinder (like a soup can), or a cone (like an ice cream cone). These surfaces curve in various ways, affecting how they reflect light and how parts of the surface relate to each other. Curved surfaces are important in design, architecture, and manufacturing because they influence strength, aesthetics, and aerodynamics. Understanding how they bend helps engineers and designers create structures and objects that are both functional and visually appealing.
