Question

Why are units of area inappropriate to measure volume? A) Units of area are too small to measure volumes. B) Units of area are too large to measure volumes. C) Area is a two-dimensional attribute and volume is a three-dimensional attribute. D) Area is a three-dimensional attribute and volume is a two-dimensional attribute.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option C

Explanation:

Area is usually the planar lamina of a two dimensional figure and usually expressed in units square meter, square feet, square inches etc.

While Volume is the total space occupied by an object in a 3-D setting and is usually expressed in cubic meter, cubic feet, cubic inches etc.

A 2-D dimension can not represent a 3-D structure and thus units of area inappropriate to measure volume
