I think you are looking for Lebesque measure, wikipage.
Quote:
"For lower dimensions n = 1, 2, or 3, it coincides with the standard measure of length, area, or volume. In general, it is also called n-dimensional volume, n-volume, hypervolume, or simply volume."
A popular example of a four-dimensional polytope is the Tesseract, which is just a 4D cube. Four dimensional and beyond polytopes have what is called a hypervolume. This can be calculated by using Lebesgue measure, which is beyond my understanding of mathematics.
Fun fact: four-dimensional analysis is common in the development of modern parallel supercomputing!
Only if time is your fourth dimension. OP is likely asking about a fourth spatial dimension, since that's much more in keeping with the progession of 1D > 2D > 3D

Wonderful answers all around, but this seems to be the succinct, specific one-word answer: it's a Lebesgué!

You'd just continue saying 'volume', alternatively 'k-dimensional volume' or 'volume of the n-dimensional object'. Like for spheres: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_an_n-ball

I'm going to start calling area "2-dimensional volume"

Only if you also call length "1-dimensional volume".

What happens if I turn the dimensional volume up to 11?

Well if it's in 1-dimensional space, then you have a line the length of 11 units.

Well, you could just make 10 higher and make that the highest

"But- but this one goes to 11."

Ah, I see

In specific applications where it is useful to consider time as a 4th spacial dimension.
So if you're not talking about relativity, it's probably not.
