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.

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.
Is the area of a circle cubed or squared?
a circle is a round object. since an area is a two dimensional concept not a three dimensional concept like a volume,the area of a circle is squared. GIVEN BY THE FORMULA A=pie x r(radius)squared. pie=3.14159265
Why are 2 and 3 are squared and cubed?
2 squared --> 4 2 cubed --> 8 3 squared --> 9 3 cubed --> 27
Is the area of a trapezoid squared?
yeahcuz with a shape (2D) it's always gotta be squared after u calculate the areabut if it's 3D then it's cubed
What is 7 cubed equal to?
squared is 49. Cubed is 343.
Is the volume of a rectangular prism squared or cubed?
The volume is cubed and the surface area is squared.
Is the surface area of a triangular prism cubed?
Surface area is squared; volume is cubed.
Is area cubed or squared?
Area is notated as Unit squared because you are only dealing with 2 dimension (Length and Width). Volume, however, is unit cubed because you are now involving height as a third dimension.
How is surface area labeled?
Surface area is squared. Only volume is cubed.
Is volume squared?
No, volume is cubed. Area is squared, for example, 2cm^2 Volume would be in cubic centimeters, meters, etc.
Is volume cubed or squared?
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.
How do you convert the volume of a cylinder from squared to cubed?
Volume of any 3-dimensional object is always 'Cubic'. 'Squared' refers to area. The volume of a cylinder is V = pir^2h Where pi r^2 refers to the area of the circular profile of the cylinder., which is a 'squared' value/ 'h' is the height of the cylinder , which is a linear value. When a squared value is multiplied to a linear value , it becomes a cubic value.
Is the volume of a figure squared or cubed?
It is cubed.
Why is perimeter squared?
area comes out with squared units of measurement, volume with cubed, perimeter stays to the power of 1.
Is the volume of a circular cone cubed or squared?
cubed
How many feet squared are in one yard cubed?
There is no answer, one is an area the other a volume.
How do you work out the mass of a cylinder?
Area of cylinder base = pi x Radius squared (πr2) Radius is in centimeters (cm) Area is in centimeters squared (cm2) ---- Volume = Area x Height Area is in centimeters squared (cm2) Height is in centimeters (cm) Volume is in centimeters cubed (cm3) ---- Mass = Volume x Density Density is in grams centimeter cubed (g/cm3) Volume is in centimeters cubed (cm3) Mass is in grams (g)
