If you are measuring temperature, the unit of measurement is either Fahrenheit or Centigrade. If you are measuring height, the unit of measurement could be feet and inches or meters and so on.
It depends on what is being measured. The instruments and units used for measuring the length, width and height of a building would be different to those used for a matchbox!
Volume is measured in cubed units because volume is a three-dimensional measurement that involves length, width, and height. When measuring volume, we are essentially measuring the amount of space an object occupies in three dimensions. Cubing the units ensures that the measurement reflects this three-dimensional aspect, as opposed to just a single linear measurement.
You can use a measuring tape, a ruler, or a yardstick to measure your height.
Both height and length are linear measurements. The units of measure are the same. Height -- not heighth -- is synonymous with altitude, and can be thought of as the distance above the ground, as in the height of a skyscraper or the height of a tall tree (or any tree, for that matter).
