Explain why perimeter is measured in units and area is measured in square units?
Because the perimeter is a linear measurement, and area is measured by multiplying 2 linear measurements together.
Can the perimeter of a desk be measured in cubic units?
No. Just like a length, a perimeter is measured in linear units.
How do you compare two lengths that are measured in different sized units?
You can mutiply or divide the units to find the answer.
Is area measured in linear units?
Yes. But, it is seldom used.
What is the sum of the lengths of all the sides of a polygon expressed in linear units?
perimeter
Why is perimeter measured in units and area measured in sq units?
Because a perimeter is measured in linear units while an area is measured in square units.

What units are Lens focal lengths are measured in?
Focal length is measured in milimeters (mm) -----------------------------------------------------------------

What are 4 metric units for length?
All lengths are measured in metres.
Will the value of the coefficient of linear expansion change if the length is measured at the some different units aside from millimeter. why?
no it will not change if the lengths are different units. That is because it is defined as length/length per degree and as you see length cancels out. Its units are simply per degree only
Is perimeter measured in cubic units or square?
A perimeter is measured in LINEAR units. Neither 'square' units nor 'cube' units.
If the 1st 2nd and 3rd dimensions can be measured in distance units can the 4th dimension or time be measured using the same units?
No - because time is measured in seconds, not linear distance.
What are the two types of measurement in trigonometry?
Angular displacements measured in radians or stradians, lengths of lines measured in units of length.
