Question

How are the surface area and volume of the cube different?

Answer 1

The surface area is the area of one of the cube's faces. The volume, however is how much of something could fit inside of the cube.

Answer 2

The surface area is the overall area of the outside of the cube; the area of all six sides are added together to get the surface area. While the volume (l•w•h) is the measure of the inside of the cube - how much matter it could possibly hold.
