  • List any 2 differences between area & volume.


\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer} \downarrow}

Area

  • Area is used to refer to the space which is accommodated / occupied by a flat 2D object / figure like a square, rectangle or a circle.
  • Area is measured in square units.

Volume

  • Volume is used to refer to the the amount of space which is accommodated / occupied by a 3D object / figure like a cube, cuboid or a sphere.
  • Volume is measured in cube units.

Note

  • 2D & 3D stands for two-dimensional & three-dimensional respectively.
