What are the Sl units of distance?
There area many units used for measurement of the distances .But , the S.I unit od distance is meters ( m ) .
What are two metric units commonly used for distance?
Meters and Kilometers
Why cubic units are used to measure volume instead of linear units or square units?
We measure length in one direction using standard units. Whether it's feet, meters or light years, it's 1-dimensional. Area is a 2-dimentional concept. It's the distance in one direction and the distance in another direction. Distance times distance is the units times the units, or units squared (units2). We see square centimeters, square feet, or square kilometers as well as other units used to measure this 2-dimentional characteristic. Volume is defined as the amount of space something takes up. Space is a 3-dimensional concept, so a 3-dimensional units are required. You've already guessed that's where cubic inches, cubic centimeters or cubic kilometers (units3) is used to measure this 3-dimentional characteristic.
What is 200m squared?
200 ^2 = 40000 You should be able to do the remaining. Note: distance cannot be used to measure area Area = distance ^2 (units wise)
Definition of linear dimension?
For example, on a number line (which is one dimensional object), we measure the distance of two points in units. For example, the distance between 2 and 4 is 2 units. Any nth side of a polygon, can be measured by using linear units, such as cm, in., ft, km, etc. The circumference of a circle, the length of an arc, also are measured by linear units. A unit that is used to measure the distance between two points, is called linear dimension.
