I think the phrase should read:-
"Area is to 2-dimensional shapes as volume is to 3-dimensional figures"

How do you find a buildings volume?
In general, the volume of an object is its Length x Width x Height. If the building is not a regular shape then you would have to figure it out in sections that are regular shapes. For example, cylinders, spheres, pyramids, etc.
What is the formula to find volume of a trapezoid?
The trapezoid is a plane figure which has surface Area, but no volume but if there was a 3d figure your equation would be. The Surface Area of a trapezoid = ½(b1+b2) x h X Height of figure.
What are shapes from nature called?
It would be free-form or organic shapes.
What is an example of a 3 dimensional shape?
A ball, a cone, a cereal box are examples of 3d shapes. Basically it is anything that you can physically touch, like your tv, computer, car etc. They are called 3d because they have 3 planes (you can measure its length, with, and volume). Things that are not 3-dimensional would be things that you would see in a book, or on television. They would be 1 dimensional because you cannot measure its volume.
If a straight cut was made through a sphere to form two identical shapes what would the shapes be called?
Hemispheres.
Are all shapes polygons?
Not all shapes are polygons. Polygons are shapes that have to have straight sides and be closed figures. So a shape that is curved would not be a polygon.
What do you call two figures the have identical sides and shapes?
You would call them congruent or similar.
Why is the volume reported in two significant figures?
It varies. Volume may be reported with more or less significant figures. However, in general the result should not have more significant figures than the underlying data - otherwise, it would look more accurate than it really is.
What are 3d figures?
3D means that they have three dimensions, which are height, width and depth. 3D figures are solid shapes such as cubes and spheres, rather than their 2D equivalents which would be squares and circles.
How did Helen Keller understand the geometrical figures?
Helen Keller "saw" geometrical figures through touch with the help of tactile sign language where someone would outline the shapes on her hand. Through this method, she could understand the different shapes and their properties despite being blind and deaf.
What equation do you use for finding volume?
There are different formulae for different shapes so you would need to specify the shape in order to get an answer.
What is 2 different polygon shapes have 7 sides?
Polygons are 2D plane figures. All polygons with 7 sides would be classified as heptagons.
The general formula for volume is?
that would depend on the shape of the volume. for a box, it would be width * depth * height For a sphere it would be (4 * pi * radius^3) / 3 Pyramids, cones, and other shapes, of course, will have their own formulas.
Is millimeter bigger or liter bigger?
You cannot directly associate length and volume, as volume is the product of 3 lengths. However, the chances are if you multiplied 3 figures that were in millimetres, it would be smaller than litres. If you meant millilitres, then litre would be bigger.
Matter that has a determine volume but no determine shape is a?
Solids have fixed shapes and volumes.Liquids have more or less a fixed volume (but may be moderately compressible). They take on the shape of their container.Gasses take on the shape and volume of the container.So your answer would be Liquid.
Why are boxes square?
Because if they were such shapes as triangles, it would be hard to use up the extra volume area since most object shapes aren't shaped like wedges, you would have unused space. Keep in mind there are rectangular boxes too.
Why is the graduated cylinder used instead of a ruler to measure the volume of a rock?
Because most rocks are not made up of common geometric shapes, it would be difficult or impossible to find the volume of a rock using a ruler; there would be no easy way to measure the rock's irregular volume. However, by measuring the volume of liquid a rock displaces, its volume can easily be determined.
