Why is perimeter measured in units?
Then what do you measure it with?
What is the Square with a perimeter of 80 units?
A 20-unit square has a perimeter of 80 units.
A square has an area of 400 what is the perimeter?
A square with an area of 400 square units has a perimeter of 80 units.
What is the difference between the units of area and the units of perimeter?
Area is measured in squared units, such as cm^2. One centimetre squared is a box that is 1cmx1cm. Perimeter is measured in normal units, such as centimetres.
Which measure best descirbes perimeter or area?
units square= area units= perimeter
Can the perimeter of a desk be measured in cubic units?
No. Just like a length, a perimeter is measured in linear units.
Is the area measured in cubic units?
No, volume is measured in cubic units, area is measured in square units.
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.
How is area wrote in cubic units?
Area is measured in square units. Volume is measured in cubic units.
Is volume is measured in square units?
No, cubic units.
Are the units for finding perimeter always square?
No, perimeter is always measured in units of length (L)
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.
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.
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.
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
Is the perimeter of a square always smaller than its area?
Units mismatch prevents any comparison of the values:perimeter is measured in units of length (e.g. inches, meters, miles)area is measured in units of area (e.g. square inches, square meters, square miles)
How do you find the area of a triangular prism in cubic feet?
Impossible because area is measured in square units whereas volume is measured in cubic units.
