In itself it is none of them - it is just a number.

However if some units are attached, it can be any of them:

If its units are a linear measure, eg 472 m, it is a length

If its units are a square measure, eg 472 sq cm, it is an area

If its units are a weight measure, eg 472 kg, it is mass

If its units are a time measure, eg 472 seconds, it is time

If its units are a temperature measure, eg 472 K, it is temperature.

What is the area and volume for rectangle?

a rectangle is 2-dimensional. basically, it's flat. it doesn't have volume. the area is length times width. if it was a rectangular prism, the volume would be length times width times height.


How do you find volume of a percentage?

A percentage is a pure, dimensionless number. It has neither length, nor area, volume, mass, temperature or any other dimension.


How to Converting volume to surface area?

Volume=area * length of that surface


How do you figure volume of a square area?

If it is a "square" area then you won't be looking for volume. However, if you are looking for the volume of a rectangular prism, it is simply: Width * Length * Height = Volume This simplifies to Length ^ 3 if you are trying to find the volume of a cube. If you are looking for the volume a square area takes depending on it's height, you can just take the area and multiply it by the height as well. (Width * Length) = Area (Width * Length) * Height = Volume Therefore: Area * Height = Volume


How do you measure a prism?

The answer depends on what characteristic you wish to measure: its length, base area, volume, mass, density, optical density, temperature, and so on.


How is surface area and volume related in solids?

Objects of different shapes have different mass-to-area ratios. For two similar objects, the volume is proportional to the third power of its length, but the surface area proportional to the second power of its length. For example, doubling the length would give you 8 times as much volume, and 4 times as much area.


A roadway has a volume of 750 cubic meters and an area of 15 square meters What is it's length?

To find the length of the roadway, divide the volume by the area: 750 cubic meters / 15 square meters = 50 meters. The length of the roadway is 50 meters.


Is the question the amount of water in a lake length area surface area or volume?

What is the formulla of determining the volume of an object?

Length X width X height= volume Or Cross sectional area X length= volume (Cross sectional area= area of a face if the object)


What is 30 cubic meters minus 2.5 square meters equal?

There's no way to add or subtract area to or from volume. It would be something like adding temperature to dollars, or length to time.


Why area and volume are volume are not considered as base units although they depend upon length?

Either could be but the conversion from length to area and volume, in terms of units, is simpler. Area = Length2 and Volume = Length3. If Area were the base, then Length = Area0.5 or sqrt(Area) and Volume = Area3/2 - not a convenient relationship. If Volume were the base, then Length = Volume1/3 or cubert(Volume) and Area = Volume2/3 - again not a convenient relationship. Length is required far more often than area or volume in other dirived measures such as speed, acceleration, force, power and so on. So having to calculate roots is making life complicated uncessarily!
