this is one of my science lab questions
how is volume different than area

Comparing area and volume is like comparing a flat piece of paper to a box. There are things called dimensions; these are how we express size and direction. One dimensional means just a line. Two dimensional is something that has both height and width (like a flat piece of notebook paper...but actually something completely flat...paper does have some thickness to it.) Three dimensional is something that has height, width, and depth, like the box. So, area is 2 dimensional and only considers one flat side of an object, something like a flat piece of paper, whereas volume is 3 dimensional and considers all the space within the sides...like the amount of something that you can put into the box. smile

Volume is 3 dimensional Length X With X height
Area is 2 dimensional Length X Width

Area is a two-dimensional measurement (a piece of paper.) Volume is a three-dimensional measurement (how much volume is in a floor of a building.)

area = 2D
volume = 3D
basically area denotes how large a certain area/space is in terms of X and Y. Whereas volume indicates how much that particular area can hold in terms of X,Y & Z

area is in 2 dimensions. such as the area of a circle.
volume is in 3 dimensions. such as the volume of a ball.

volume is for liquid isnt it? so 3 dimensional area.
area is 2 dimensional , height and width

Volume is three dimension i.e. length, width and height
Area is two dimensional i.e. length and width

think of it this way volume is what it takes to fill a cube and area is what it takes to fill a square

an area is flat - as in how much are to carpet the floor.
volume is content - as in how much can i fit in this room.
