If area is measured in square units and volume in cubic units how is Surface area measured?
The answer is in the first part of your question. By this I mean that surface area would be measured in square units. For example, the surface area of the rectangle was 32cm squared.
Are the answers to surface area questions squared or cubed?
Area is measured in square units. Volume is measured in cubic units. Surface Area- squareunits.
Why is surface aree measured by square units and volume is measured in cubic units?
Surface area is two-dimensional. Volume has a third dimension: depth.
Is the area measured in cubic units?
No, volume is measured in cubic units, area is measured in square units.
Why are square units used when working with a three-dimensional figure?
Surface area of three dimensional figures are measured in square units whereas their volumes are measured in cubic units
How is area wrote in cubic units?
Area is measured in square units. Volume is measured in cubic units.
What units would you use to describe the surface area of a box measured in feet?
An area is measured in square units, so for lengths measured in feet, the area would be measured in square feet.The surface area of a box, is just the sum of the areas of each face, each of which is measured in square units.
Is volume is measured in square units?
No, cubic units.
Is perimeter measured in cubic units or square?
A perimeter is measured in LINEAR units. Neither 'square' units nor 'cube' units.
Are rectangles measured in cubic units?
no, cubic units are for three dimensional figures, hence cubic = 3 they are measured in square units, as they have only two dimensions.
What is the size of a surface that takes up and is measured in square units?
It is the area and is measured in square units.
What would the length and width be of an area that is 88 cubic feet?
Area is measured in square units - volumeis measured in cubic units
