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!

What is the height length and width of a 8000 cm volume?
This question cannot be answered. First, because the volume of an object cannot be 8000 cm. A centimetre is a measure of length, not of volume and there is no conversion from length to volume. Suppose we assume the volume is 8000 cubic cm. Second, the shape of the object is not specified. It could be a cuboid, or an ellipsoid, a prism, pyramid, cone, cylnder etc or even a hemisphere or some more complex shape. The relationship between the linear dimensions and volume depend on the shape - and in the case of some complex shapes may well require some very high level mathematical techniques. Third, although you can calculate the volume of a shape if you have its height, length and width, if you have only the volume, you cannot calculate the other three.

How are length and volume different?
Although length and volume are both physical quantities ,their standard units are different that is for length the standard unit is meter and for volume the standard unit is cubic meter (m3). Also their dimensional formula, for length it is [L] and for volume it is [L]3

Would volume of a plastic cube be considered its length?
No, The volume of the cube would be the length multiplied by the length multiplied by the the length. Volume=Length X Length X Length (of a cube) V=L^3 The proof of this involves some work, but I'm assuming you don't want the proof behind this. http://www.math.com/tables/geometry/volumes.htm

What is the best way to measure a bathtub?
The answer will depend on what aspect you want to measure: its mass, length, width, depth, volume etc. And since you have not bothered to provide that crucial bit of information, I cannot provide a more useful answer.

Which of the four quantities that are associated with matter length mass volume and temperature is not considered to be a fundamental property?
One of the definitions of "matter" is that it occupies space and possesses rest mass. By this definition, mass is fundamental and since volume is measured in terms of length cubed - both length and volume would also be fundamental (although length really shouldn't be included if you include volume since one is just derived from the other). Temperature, on the other hand is NOT fundamental to matter. Matter can have a temperature, but temperature can also be defined - in a convoluted manner - for a vacuum containing no matter but which has energy passing through it.
