Why do you use cubes instead of squares to measure the volume of a rectangular prism?

Squares cannot be used to measure a three-dimensional volume since they have only two dimensions. Squares are used to measure surface areas, such as the outer surface of a rectangular solid. Cubes are used to measure volume because they are the simplest geometric division of a three-dimensional space. For a rectangular solid, multiplying H x W x D literally tells you the number of cubes (of the given unit of measurement) that can be contained within that space.
