Length relates to the distance between two points. Area is the width of a flat object multiplied by its height. Volume is the width times the height times the length of a 3-dimensional object.

Why is permiters measured in units?
Perimeter is a length, not an area or volume...
What is the basic unit for measuring data?
There are different units for measuring different characteristics: mass, weight, length, area, volume, temperature and so on.
How do you work out the volume of a solid cylinder?
Volume in cubic units = base area times length
How do you find the volume of a prism solid?
Volume in cubic units = cross-section area*length
How do you calculate volume of square?
A square has an area not a volume. Here are some equations for a cube and a square area of a square = length² volume of a cube = length³ Remember that units are very important.
The different units with regards to length mass area and volume?

Why is area measured in square units and volume is measured in cubic units?
An area is a measure comprising two dimensions of length (usually called length and breadth). The dimensional representation for area is, therefore, [L2]. Similarly, volume which comprises length x breadth x height, is [L3]. The shapes are measured in linear units and so these compound units are squared units (for area) and cubed units (for volume).An area is a measure comprising two dimensions of length (usually called length and breadth).

Why area and volume are volume are not considered as base units although they depend upon length?
Either could be but the conversion from length to area and volume, in terms of units, is simpler. Area = Length2 and Volume = Length3. If Area were the base, then Length = Area0.5 or sqrt(Area) and Volume = Area3/2 - not a convenient relationship. If Volume were the base, then Length = Volume1/3 or cubert(Volume) and Area = Volume2/3 - again not a convenient relationship. Length is required far more often than area or volume in other dirived measures such as speed, acceleration, force, power and so on. So having to calculate roots is making life complicated uncessarily!
How do you convert American standard into metric?
That depends what you are measuring. There are lots of different units to measure different things: length, area, volume, weight, mass, force, etc.
Why is volume in cube units?
Because volume has three dimensions: A line has one dimension: length An area has two dimensions: length and width Volume has three dimensions: length, width and depth.
What is the length of a cube whose surface area and volume have the same numericalvalue?
6 units
How do you solve the volume of prisms?
It is: cross-section area*length and measured in cubic units
