Measuring the average charge density of the region

Applying the concept of electric potential to the entire region

How is charge density specified when charges are continuously distributed over a region?

dq/dA for linear charge distribution, dq/dV for surface charge distribution, and dq/ds for volume charge distribution

dq/dx for linear charge distribution, dq/dA for surface charge distribution, and dq/dV for volume charge distribution
