3. In a 2-dimensional object the label is always square units and notated as units^2 i.e. square inches or in^2. What is the name and notation of a 3-dimensional object?

When we have a 3-dimensional, then the units have to by to the third power because the dimensions multiply, for example, if each dimension is in meters, then


m* m* m=m^3

Hence, the name of a 3-dimensional object is cubic units, and the notation is units^3.
