3D Geometry

Volume measures three-dimensional filling while surface area measures exposed two-dimensional boundary, and both can be built from simpler layers or faces.

What you'll learn

  • Build prism and cylinder volume as base area times height.
  • Distinguish cubic volume units from square surface-area units.
  • Count only exposed faces after solids join.
  • Explain length, area, and volume scale factors k, k², and k³.
  • Use nets and face inventories to reason about surface area.
