Question: how to determine these two equations having similar structure without plot3d in maple

For application of object recognition with 3d sensor

plot3d(subs(c=1, a*b+a*c), a=-1..1, b=-1..1);
plot3d(subs(c=1, a+a*b*c), a=-1..1, b=-1..1);

after draw above two equations, they looked having similar structure

i find a book

Differential Geometry and its application John Oprea, page 98

having some measure to determine the shape, however they seems for

2 variables and need parametric form

how to use them to determine above two equations which have 3 variables

a*b+a*c  and  a+a*b*c

though not know the 3 variables version of below code, 

i think subs(c=1, a*b+a*c), subs(a=1, a*b+a*c), subs(b=1, a*b+a*c)

3 sets of equations after substitute third variables with 1, is it still possible to determine the shape?
