What is the difference between surface area and volume?

• Surface area measures the outer shell, volume measures space occupied

• They are the same

• Volume is for 2D shapes, surface area is for 3D

• Surface area is measured in cubic units

How do you calculate the volume of a rectangular prism?

• Base Area + Height

• Length + Width + Height

• Base Area x Height

• Length x Width x Height
