You cannot, unless you know what the shape is. For a very few regular shapes, the volume can provide information on the linear dimensions of the object. But even for something as simple as a cuboid (but not a cube), that does not work - there are an infinite number of possible measures for the length/breadth/height which will give the same volume.

Once you have these linear dimensions, determining the surface area is a lot more straightforward.

What is the volume of a figure when the surface area is 294?

The surface area of a figure does not provide enough information to determine its volume. Indeed, it does no even determine its shape.The volume can have any positive value up to 474.018 cubic units.The surface area of a figure does not provide enough information to determine its volume.
