What should your units on your base area calculations be, and why? How is this

different from the units on your volume calculations? Explain in two to three sentences

1 answer

The units for base area calculations should be in square units (e.g., square meters, square feet) because area measures the extent of a two-dimensional surface. In contrast, volume calculations use cubic units (e.g., cubic meters, cubic feet) since volume measures the capacity of a three-dimensional space. This distinction arises because area accounts for two dimensions (length and width), while volume encompasses three dimensions (length, width, and height).
