What is the difference between surface area and volume?

• Surface area is measured in cubic units

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

• They are the same

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

Why is it important to understand different terminologies in geometry?

• Different terms can describe the same concept

• To make geometry more complex

• Only for academic purposes

• To improve vocabulary
