Why do you use cubic units and not square units to find the volume of solid figures?

Square units have only two dimensions, length and width, so they can not fill up something. Think of a cube. Can it fill something up? Yes.

Is the area of a solid figure is the mearsure of the number of cubic units?
No, volume is in cubic units, while surface area is in square units.
What are faces on solid figures?
Faces on solid figures are like when you look at a square you see a flat wall type surface.
How do you work out the volume of a solid cylinder?
Volume in cubic units = base area times length
How do you find the volume of a prism solid?
Volume in cubic units = cross-section area*length
What is the space within a geometric solid figure called?
It is its volume which is measured in cubic units
The number of cubic units that can fit inside a container or a solid figures is?
It's volume
How do you convert 1200 cubic feet into square feet?
Cubic feet represents a volume. Square feet represents an area. There is no conversion between them because they represent different things. However, given solid, with a volume of 1200 cubic feet, if the height of the solid is known, the equation volume divided by height will produce the area of the base of the solid.
Is the area of a solid figure is the mearsure of the number of cubic units?
No, volume is in cubic units, while surface area is in square units.
Solid object volume is measured in what units?
The volume of solid objects is typically measured in cubic units such as cubic centimeters (cm³) or cubic meters (m³).
How many square foot is in 1 cubic feet?
Square feet is the measure of an area, while cubic feet is the measure of a volume. They are not the same thing, so it is impossible to answer your question. Even if you converted the question to something more answerable, such as what is the surface area in square feet of a solid which has a volume of 1 cubic foot, the answer is not fixed. This is because different shapes have different surface areas even though they have the same volume. For example, a cube with a volume of 1 cubic foot will have a surface area of 6 square feet (each face of the cube has an area of 1 square foot). The surface area of a sphere with a volume of 1 cubic foot will have a surface area of (((3/4)/pi)^(1/3))^2 * 4 * pi square feet (about 4.8 square feet). In other words, in order to answer your question, we not only need to know the volume of the solid, but also the shape before we can tell you what the solid's surface area is.
What are cubic units?
Volume of a solid that is measured by cubic units
Three dimensional figures are typically measured by their?
Volume - measured in cubic meters, cubic centimeters, etc.APEX height, length, and width
What is the voulme of a solid?
The volume of a solid is the amount of space it occupies in three-dimensional space. It is typically measured in cubic units such as cubic centimeters or cubic meters. The formula for calculating volume varies depending on the shape of the solid.
What does solid volume?
Solid volume refers to the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object. It is calculated by multiplying the area of the base of the solid by its height or using specific volume formulas depending on the shape of the solid. It is measured in cubic units such as cubic meters or cubic centimeters.
What are the derivation of volume of solid figures?
area
What is the si unit of volume for a solid?
The SI unit of volume for a solid is the cubic meter (m^3).
What is the unit of volume of a solid?
A cubic metre.
