Length is a one-dimensional quantity, area is a two-dimensional quantity, and volume is a three-dimensional quantity. Length is defined in terms of linear units, feet (ft) and meters (m), for example. Area is defined in terms of square units, such as square feet (sq ft or ft2) or square meters (sq m or m2). Volume is defined in terms of cubic units, such as cubic feet (cu ft or ft3) or cubic meters (just m3). By the way, saying that a surface has an area of 100 square feet (sq ft) is the same as saying it has an area of 100 feet squared (ft3). Note that there are other units of area that don't involve the words square or squared. Some examples are acre, are, and hectare. The last two are metric units. Also note that there are units of volume that don't involve cubic units. Some examples are ounce, pint, quart, gallon, milliliter, and liter. Some people refer to those units as units of "capacity," but they are essentially units of volume.

What is the surface area of a cube whose volume is 64?
The surface area of a cube whose volume is 64 cubic units is: 96 square units.
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).
