Question

Would you measure the height of a doorway using linear, square, or cubic units?


linear


square


cubic

Answer 1

To measure the height of a doorway, you would use linear units. Height is a one-dimensional measurement, so units such as inches, feet, or meters (which are all linear measurements) are appropriate. Square units are used for area, and cubic units are for volume, neither of which apply to the height of a doorway.
