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.

How many gallons in a 24x48'' container?
You would need a 3rd dimension to calculate a volume.
How does the volume of a prism change if each dimension of th prism is doubled what does it double in to?
If each dimension is doubled, the prism then haseight times the volume that it had before.
