Question

Can units subtract themselves in mathematics? Example is cm²-cm =cm? / m³-m =m²?​

Answer 1

No, they cannot be added or subtracted.

Explanation:

According to the homogenity of units and dimensions, the quantities of the same units and dimensions are added or subtracted only.

So, the quantities of different units and dimensions can not be added or sutracted.

So,

`cm^2 - cm = notdetremined`
