When calculating area we multiply length and width ( in the instance of a square ). If we had an area 5 in long and 5 in wide the area is 25 in^2 because we also multiply the unit. If we had a box 5 in long, 5 in wide and 5 in tall we would have a box with a volume of 125 in^3 ( cubic inches). Again we also multiply the units.
