Surface area and volume are really interesting ideas in geometry!

• Surface Area is the total area on the outside of a 3D shape. We measure it in square units.

• Volume tells us how much space is inside the shape. We measure it in cubic units.

For example, if you have a cube, the formula for its surface area is $6s^2$. This means you multiply the length of one side by itself, then by 6.

The formula for the volume of a cube is $s^3$. This means you multiply the length of one side by itself three times.

These concepts help us understand how shapes fit into the world around us. Let’s dive in and explore more!
