What is the difference between volume surface area and area

The area is the same as the surface area.

The volume measures the space inside a solid shape.

The surface area is the "face" of a solid shape. The measurement of the outside of the solid shape.

Answer: Surface area is just what you can see. The outer part. The area is the whole thing. Even the inside, not just what you can see.

Explanation/Reasoning:

Surface area is the outside layer, or the uppermost part. It is what surrounds it. The area is the whole thing. Even what you cannot see.
