Solution

The sentences that correctly describe the difference between surface area and volume are:

  1. "The total area on the outside of a three-dimensional figure is the surface area. Volume is the amount of space inside a figure."
  2. "The amount of space on the sides of a three-dimensional figure is the surface area. Volume is the measurement of the figure’s base."

The other two sentences are incorrect. Surface area is not just the area of a figure's base, it includes all the exterior faces of the figure. Similarly, volume is not the total area of the outside of a figure, it is the measure of the space inside the figure.
