Cubed. The reason is that space has three dimensions - and that is basically what we are measuring.
Whenever you are answering volume questions, it's always units cubed (^3).
The volume is cubed and the surface area is squared.
cubed (just like squared, but instead of a 2 its a 3)
cubed
Area is measured in square units. Volume is measured in cubic units. Surface Area- squareunits.
squared as in square units and to the third power it would be cubed as in cubed units
Technically, area and volume aren't necessarily squared and cubed. If you're talking about, well, squares and cubes, then this is true. In general, area is some form of length * width, and volume is some form of length * width * height. But the reason why the units are squared and cubed is because the units effectively get "multiplied" with each other. So for example, if you have a rectangle that is 2 ft by 4 ft, you multiply (2 ft) * (4 ft) = 8 ft2. You always want to make sure your units are consistent with the operations that you perform on the numbers.
Remember a straight line is NOT 'powered/indexed'. a^(1) or just 'a' For Area , the power/index is 'squared' . a^(2) For Volume, the power/index is 'cubed' a^(3)
Density = Mass/VolumeVolume is not cubed, although the units in which volume is expressedmay be cubed units.
Cubed; Area is squared. Short version: No, squared is to the second power, cubed to the third. Long version: No- squared is X2 , or x times x. Cubed is X3, or x times x times x. For example: Squared: 22= 2x2= 4 Cubed: 23= 2x2x2= 8 So any 3-D object has to be X3. Area, which is 2-D, is squared.

Surface area is squared; volume is cubed.
