Question

Which label would NOT be appropriate for volume.

cubic feet
square miles
inches
cm3

Answer 1

square miles

inches

Explanation:

Analyzing the options:

• cubic feet: this is a measure of volume because 1 cubic feet represents the volume of a cube with measures 1 feet on each side. In general, when a measure of length, such as the foot is cubed, it represents a volume.

• square miles: This is not a measure of volume but of area, a square mile represents the area of a square with sides that measure one mile. So this option is not a measure of volume

• inches: is a measure of length, not volume

• 
  `cm^3`: Cubic centimeters are a measure of volume, because a cubic meter is the volume of a cube with sides of a centimeter.

Thus the answer is that:

square miles and inches

are not appropiate for volume
