Measuring storeys in m2?

I'm working through an assessment where I've been asked to work out a four storey building's height. This is specifically in the UK. The only information I've been given is that each storey is 3200m2.

This is throwing me as m2 is for a flat surface. I can assume it's for a wall, but then I don't know what is the height vs the width. The government policies within the Approved Document B also lists storey height as m2 so I feel like I must be missing something obvious. I'm not an architect and have never worked in the trades so I'm hoping someone could explain to me how I can work out the height, or how storeys are measured to produce an answer in m2.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
