To find an area of a shape, it depends on what shape it is. Generally, though, area and volume are measured in square or cubic units.
To find the area of a square, measure one of its sides (pick one, it doesn't matter!), and then square it (multiply the length by itself one time).
To find the area of a cube, measure one of its sides, and cube is (multiply the length by itself two times).

What does it mean to find the area of a shape?
To find the the area of a shape is to find the space that is enclosed within a 2D object. Do not mix it up with volume, which is the space enclosed within a 3D object.
What can you find with triple integrals area or volume?
A triple integral will usually give a measure of volume in 4-dimensional hyper-space.
How is area different then volume?
Area is the surface. Volume is the entire internal space.
What relates to space which is that obvious?
Space is an area or volume.
Can anything have area without having volume?
yes space have area but don't have volume
The amount of space something takes up is called?
i believe its volume
The number of cubic units needed to fill a space is called?
That's the "volume" of the space.
How are volume and surface area the same?
Volume and surface area can never be the same because volume is a measure in 3-dimensional space whereas area is a measure in 2-dimensional space. The dimensions are different and so equality is not possible.Volume and surface area can never be the same because volume is a measure in 3-dimensional space whereas area is a measure in 2-dimensional space.

What is the formula for finding lengths of a square when you are given a volume?
None exist. A square is a measurement of area, length is a linear measurement and volume is a capacity. To find the lengths of a square from the area, take the square root of the area. To find the lengths of a cube from the volume, take the cube root of the volume. To clarify: Area refers to a two-dimensional space. Volume is three dimensional, and thus appropriate for a cube or ball, not a square or circle.
How is area and volume related?
You need the area to find the volume of an object.
How are the meanings of area and volume different?
Area is the space in which a thing takes up. Volume is the capacity in which a thing can or is holding
How do you calculate the surface-area-to-volume-ratio?
The surface-area-to-volume ratio may be calculated as follows: -- Find the surface area of the shape. -- Find the volume of the shape. -- Divide the surface area by the volume. The quotient is the surface-area-to-volume ratio.
