The volume of anything is always the area of the base of the object times the height. Therefore, to find the volume the object must have a height, which makes volume work with all 3D shapes. If one is looking at a 2D shape, then there is no height so a volume cannot be calculated (note: areas may be found of 2D shapes).

Which is a 3d shape?

That will depend on what they are but in general 3D shapes have surface area and volume whereas 2D shapes have only surface area.


What is volume and surface area of pentagon?

A pentagon is a 2D shape. Volume and Surface Area is only found in 3D shapes.


How many ways are 2D and 3D shapes different?

2D shapes are flat and have only two dimensions—length and width—while 3D shapes include depth, adding a third dimension. This allows 3D shapes to occupy physical space, whereas 2D shapes are confined to a plane. Additionally, 3D shapes can have volume and surface area, whereas 2D shapes are characterized by perimeter and area. Examples include squares and circles for 2D shapes, and cubes and spheres for 3D shapes.


What is the difference between 3d shapes and 2d shapes?

The difference between 2d and 3d shapes is that, a 2d shape is flat, has no volume and depth and cannot be handled while a 3d shape can be held, has depth, volume and can hold things inside it. These are the dimensional shapes which are mostly used in geometry.

How are 2d shapes similar to 3d shapes?

2D shapes and 3D shapes are similar in that they both represent geometric forms, but they differ in dimensions. While 2D shapes have only length and width, such as squares and circles, 3D shapes include depth in addition to length and width, like cubes and spheres. Both types of shapes can be defined by their properties, such as angles and sides for 2D shapes and faces and vertices for 3D shapes. Additionally, 3D shapes can be visualized as the three-dimensional counterparts of their 2D base shapes.
