A rectangle is a shape on a flat surface. It has two dimensions,

and its volume is zero.

BTW -- Any unit of volume is a 'cubic unit'.

The volume of a rectangle is measured in cubic units because it represents the amount of space enclosed within the three-dimensional shape. By measuring in cubic units, we can account for all three dimensions (length, width, and height) of the rectangular prism or solid shape.

Because ' volume' is cubic or capacity. 'Square' is a measurement of flat surfaces ONLY.
