Understanding Area, Surface Area, and Volume: Choosing the Right Units

This lesson teaches how to determine whether to find area, surface area, or volume in various situations by considering the units needed. Area measures the space inside a 2D figure using square units, surface area is the sum of the areas of the faces of a 3D solid, and volume measures the space inside a 3D figure using cubic units. The video provides examples of situations requiring each type of measurement, helping learners understand when to apply each concept.
