The answer depends on what characteristic the tool is used to measure.
Length times Width times Height. Archimedes used a "bathtub", and submerged the object to see what volume of water was displaced.
Use a string: put your finger where the string is at the edge of the object, then use a ruler to measure the tip of the string to your finger. Or use a protractor: each degree equals 1/16 of an inch.
No dimensions are length, hight, and depth; and are used to define the physical shape of an object.
When multiplying length by width by height, the volume of the object is calculated. Volume is measured in cubic metres, or m3.
