Which term represents the amount of space inside a three-dimensional figure?

  1. Area

  2. Denominator

  3. Numerator

  4. Volume

The correct answer is: Volume

The correct term that represents the amount of space inside a three-dimensional figure is volume. Volume measures how much space a shape occupies and is typically expressed in cubic units, such as cubic centimeters or liters. In contrast, area refers to the two-dimensional space within a flat surface, not applicable to three-dimensional shapes. The terms numerator and denominator are related to fractions, where the numerator indicates how many parts are being considered out of the total number represented by the denominator. Neither of these concepts relates to measuring space within a three-dimensional figure. Thus, volume is the term that accurately describes the amount of space inside such shapes.
