Best Answer

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).

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.
