no; surface area applies to the square unit of measurement of a 2-dimensional surface, such as one face of a box (length and width). Volume is a 3-dimensional representation that takes the 2-dimensional surface area (length x width) and adds a 3rd dimension in the form of depth, or height. Answers in volume will always be a cubic unit of measure.
Summing it up:
Surface Area: L x W
Cubic Area (Volume): L x W x H

How are volume and surface area the same when volume stays the same?
There is no reason for the surface area to remain the same even if the volume is the same.
Is the volume of a cylinder the same as the surface area of a cylinder?
no
Is it possible to have the same surface area different volume?
yes.
How is it possible for objects to have the same volume but different area?
Yes. A cube that is 2x2x2 has the same volume as a rectangular prism that is 1x2x4, which is 8. The surface area of the cube is 24 while the surface area of the rectangular prism is 28.
How are volume and surface area the same?
Volume and surface area can never be the same because volume is a measure in 3-dimensional space whereas area is a measure in 2-dimensional space. The dimensions are different and so equality is not possible.Volume and surface area can never be the same because volume is a measure in 3-dimensional space whereas area is a measure in 2-dimensional space.
