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.

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.

Is mm squared density or volume?
neither - it is area. 1 mm cubed is volume
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.
Is the volume of a figure squared or cubed?
