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

Is the surface area of a triangular prism cubed?
Surface area is squared; volume is cubed.
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?
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)
Why is perimeter squared?
Perimeter is NOT squared. Squaring calculated the area inside the perimeter. The perimeter is the addition of the lines that form the edge/perimeter.
Is the volume of a circular cone cubed or squared?
cubed

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)
Is perimeter squared or cubed?
Neither!!! Perimeter is the addition of all the straight lines that form the perimeter.
