The best-known system of units is the SI, so I'll use it as an example. SI has several "base units", like meter (for length), kilogram (for mass), and seconds (for time) (a total of 7 base units). Other units are derived from the seven base units; for example, areas are measured in meters2, volumes in meters3, speeds and velocities in meters/second, etc.

Why is density a derived quantity?
It is a measure of mass per unit volume and is derived using measures of mass and lengths in three orthogonal dimensions.
Is volume a derived quantity?
yes it is,it is derived by cubing the fundamental unit of length
What measure unit is a kilometer stick?
The measure unit of a kilometer stick is kilometer.
Why is a cubic centimeter an example of a derived unit?
Go to pg. 18 and in the 2nd paragraph you will find the answer. :D
What unit of measure do you measure transistors in?
secret
What is a unit of measure that is a combination of other measurements?
Derived Unit
What unit of measure is used to measure voltage?
The SI unit of voltage is the Volt, which is a derived unit equivalent to a Joule/Coulomb.
What derived unit is used to measure?
They are used to measure quantities that are not basic. Length, for example, is a basic unit, but area and volume are not so derived units will be used to measure area and volume.
What units of measure to measure the length of the state of Florida?
The recommended unit is kilometer (derived from the SI unit meter).
From what unit is a measure of volume derived?
Liter because it's the base unit of volume
What is used to measure derived?
They are used to measure quantities that are not basic. Length, for example, is a basic unit, but area and volume are not so derived units will be used to measure area and volume.
Which of the following is the Newton used to measure?
The Newton is the SI derived unit for force.
A unit of measure made of a combination of two or more base units is called?
derived
Why is density a derived quantity?
It is a measure of mass per unit volume and is derived using measures of mass and lengths in three orthogonal dimensions.
What is the difference between m2 and yards?
A square meter (m2) is a derived unit of measure of surface area in the metric system. A yard is a traditional English unit of measure of distance.
Why is volume known as a complex unit instead of a SI unit?
The basic SI unit is for length. Volume is a measure which is based on length-cubed and so it is a derived (not complex) unit.
Is the unit of speed a basic unit or a derived unit?
It is a derived unit. It measure distance traveled per unit of time. For example meter per second or m/s. Speed or velocity as it is sometimes called is derived from the units for distance and time.
