Finding volume is working in three dimensions while finding area is only working in two dimensions. Essentially, finding volume and area are the same basic principles, just volume has an additional component. For example, the area of a square is length*width, while the volume of a cube is length*width*height. Eventually things progress to the "calculus-state" and become much more complicated.

How are the shortcuts for finding surface area and volume different?
volume is simply how much something can hold. area is based on the amount of space covering the figure. the short cut for surface area for a prism is lateral area+2base areas this is as simple as it gets for volume for a prism it is lwh
