== Are surfaces necessarily infinite? ==
Is a surface only something like a plane or sphere, which has no edges, or would one face of a cube count as a surface?  If a surface necessarily has no edges, isn't it misleading to say it has length and breadth?  --[[User:Catherine Woodgold|Catherine Woodgold]] 20:20, 27 April 2007 (CDT)

Are surfaces necessarily infinite?
