1 dimension = length
2 dimensions = area
3 dimensions = volume
In mathematics, "volume" is sometimes used as a generic term for "extent" in the however-many-dimensional space under discussion. Sometimes this is prefixed with the dimensionality to make it clearer, but not always. For example, you might see something talking about the "volume" of a hypercube, or the "4-volume" if the writer is making a special effort to avoid ambiguity.
However, if you're not reading some abstract mathematical paper discussing n-dimensional spaces, it's a pretty good bet that "volume" is referring to the 3 "normal" spatial dimensions.
