Lines are measured with lines. For example, the length of a road is measured with standard lines (linear units) such as yards, miles, meters or kilometers.
Areas are measured with areas. A field is measured with standard areas (usually square units) such as square yards, square miles, or square kiometers.
Volumes are measured with volumes. A container is measured with standard volumes (often cubic units) such as square inches or square centimeters.
Look out for calculations involving linear, square and cubic units. For example, a square measuring three inches on the side has an area of 3 x 3 = 9 square inches. A cubical tank measuring five meters on each side has a volume of 5 x 5 x 5 = 125 cubic meters.

You can't convert that. You can convert linear units to linear units, square units to square units, or cubic units to cubic units.
Calculate cubic units in a rectangle?
A rectangle has a perimeter with linear units, and a surface area with square units. It has no cubic units.
What is the difference between linear and cubic units?
A linear unit is used to measure length or distance whereas a cubic unit is used to measure volumes. A cubic unit may defined as a cubic measure (eg a litre) or it could be composed of three linear units (eg cubic centimetre), or a square unit and a linear one (acre-foot). This last combination is rare in the SI system because the linear units are more easily linked to square and cubic units.
