• Description of regions that are measured
• Units for each type of measure and why the units are different
• Examples of when you would want to measure for each type of measure.

Answer 1

Surface area define or calculate the exact space that each face of the said shape is taken up while the volume is how much space is inside the said object. The area use the unit that is squared because it only measured 2 face in the shape while the volume measures 3 faces in the object. an example of an area is a card board area, while the volume is the glass of water.
