Surface area is always measured in cubed units.

OpenStudy (across):

This is false. Do you know why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Surface are is basically what it says. The surface of a shape

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All you need is two sides. SO you should squared units

Parth (parthkohli):

My point I'd like to add here: Surface area of something is like \(\cdots unit \times \cdots unit\).

Parth (parthkohli):

\((\cdots)^2 \times (unit)^2 \)

Parth (parthkohli):

Because unit x unit = unit^2 right?

Parth (parthkohli):

Let's take the surface area of a square with side = 9 cm. \( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 9 \text{cm} \times 9 \text{cm} = 9 \times 9 \times \text{cm} \times {cm }}\)

Parth (parthkohli):

\(81 \times \text{cm}^2\)
