It's not true. As with all solid figures, polyhedra have volume and surface area.

What geometric objects occupies two deminsions?

Two dimensional shapes have only surface area such as polygons whereas three dimensional shapes have surface area and volume such as polyhedrons.


How do you calculate warehouse area from volume?

It is not possible to calculate the area given only the volume.


Are all solids polyhedrons?

No, those bounded by only plane faces are but others are not.


What is the critical relationship between cell volume and surface area?

The volume is proportional to the cube of the diameter, but the area, only to the square of the diameter. For example, if you double the diameter, the area will increase by a factor of 4, and the volume, by a factor of 8. Thus, the area/volume ratio will worsen, by a factor of 2.The volume is proportional to the cube of the diameter, but the area, only to the square of the diameter.

What is volume and surface area of pentagon?

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