Volume is defined only for three-dimensional objects. A perfectly flat surface (impossible to find or create in our three-dimensional physical world) cannot have a volume.

Why is the volume of a rectangle measured in cubic units?
A rectangle is a shape on a flat surface. It has two dimensions,and its volume is zero.BTW -- Any unit of volume is a 'cubic unit'.
Why do flat maps distort Earth's surface?
They distort the surface because they are flat, while the surface is not.
How do circular folds increase the surface area for digestion and absorption in the intestine?
Folds increase the surface area to volume ratio.Imagine a circle with folds all around the edge and another circle the same size with a flat edge. Both circles have the same volume, but the one with the folds has a much larger surface area.
Which statements about the ratio of cell surface area to cell volume is are correct?
Larger cells will have a greater surface area-to-volume.
What is the flat surface of a solid?
The crust is the solid surface of the Earth.
How does ramps work?
a ramp is a flat surface which
How is findeng volume different from finding area?
Area is of a flat surface whereas volume is of a three dimensional shape.
How do you mesure the volume of a area?
"Area" is an amount of flat surface. It has no volume. If the area is the bottom of a tank, then the volume of the substance in the tank is the area multiplied by the depth.
What is the maximum depth a water spill will be on a flat surface?
Any, depending on the volume of water spilt and the area of the flat surface. The specific height is also constrained by the surface tension of the water, the atmospheric pressure above it, and the gravity below it.
Does a flat worm or a cylindrical worm have a higher surface area to volume ratio?
Flatworms have a higher surface area/volume ratio compared to a cylindrical worm, this is one of the reasons for flatworms to have the structure they do.
How do you work out the volume of prism?
You will have to work the surface area of one of the ends and then multiply that with the length.
How do you calculate the volume of a triangle if you only have the height and density?
A triangle is a flat area, therefore it has a surface area, not a volume. Density is unrelated to the problem; you would need some additional information to calculate the surface area.
Is the sphere has a flat surface?
It does not have a flat surface.
What type of bracelet is best for engraving?
any bracelete with a flat surface will work.
How does a 2D shape look different from a 3D shape?
A 2D shape is flat and only has a surface area whereas a 3D shape is an object that has surface area and volume.
What is a flat surface that goes on and on in all directions called?
The flat surface that goes on and on in all directions has no boundaries. This flat surface is called infinite surface. Accordingly, the answer is that the flat surface that goes on and on in all directions is called an infinite surface.
A flat surface that has no thickness?
A plane is a flat surface with no thickness
