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.
Calculate cubic units in a rectangle?
A rectangle has a perimeter with linear units, and a surface area with square units. It has no cubic units.
What should you use with area and perimeter square units or units?
units with perimeter square units with area
Is the perimeter of a rhombus in units or square units?
Units, because the perimeter is just the edge. The area is square units.
Can the perimeter of a desk be measured in cubic units?
No. Just like a length, a perimeter is measured in linear units.
Is perimeter measured in cubic units or square?
A perimeter is measured in LINEAR units. Neither 'square' units nor 'cube' units.
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.
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 is the difference between the units for linear measurement and units for measuring perimeter?
A linear unit is a one-dimensionn line; a square unit is area. A linear unit is a distance measurment like 1 inch, 2 miles, or 3 kilometers. A square unit is expressed in square, like 2 square feet.
Calculate cubic units in a rectangle?
A rectangle has a perimeter with linear units, and a surface area with square units. It has no cubic units.
Is the perimeter of a square is linear?
You use linear units to express it, such as meters or millimeters, if that's what you mean.
Why is perimeter measured in linear units?
Perimeter is measured in Linear Units because it is Measurement of The Outline or Path of a given shape or area; a Perimeter is NOT the Measurement of What is Inside that Outline/Path. It is a One-Dimensional measurement, which MEANS it is a Linear Unit Measurement, such as Feet or Meters.Alternatively, a Two-Dimensional Measurement, is the Square of a Linear Unit -- like AREA is a Two-Dimensional Measurement and therefore Measured in Linear Units Squared (i.e. meters2/Square Meters or feet2/Square Feet). Area is the Measurement of What is Contained within a given Perimeter.
If the perimeter of a square is 24 square units what is the area?
36 square units. You can't express a perimeter in square units; a perimeter is a length expressed in ordinary units. If the perimeter of this square is 24 units then the answer above is correct.
How do you Convert sq inches to linear feet?
You don't. Square units and linear units are incompatible units.You don't. Square units and linear units are incompatible units.You don't. Square units and linear units are incompatible units.You don't. Square units and linear units are incompatible units.
What should you use with area and perimeter square units or units?
units with perimeter square units with area
A square with an area 90000 square units What is its perimeter?
A square with an area 90,000 square units has a perimeter of: 1,200 units.
If the area of a square is 35 square units what is the perimeter?
If the area of a square is 35 square units the perimeter is: 23.66 units.
