Question

When finding the volume of a 3D shape, which part of the shape you need to find the area of

Answer 1

So far I have worked with volume, area, distance and more. Area is the ammount of something covered. Like the area of a tarp is the ammount of space it covers. Volume is how much space something takes up. Like you see an ice cube taking up space in a glass., and cauculate how much space exactly. To find the area of a 3D shape, where all sides are the same, multiply the length of each side by the number of sides.
