Step-by-step explanation:

Volume has three parameters and is three dimensional, thus needing a unit in the third power

In difference,

Area is two-dimensional and has only 2 parameters, thus needing a unit only in the second power

Answer 2

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is found by multiplying two dimensions  together ( l*w)

Volume is found by multiplying three dimensions together ( l*w*n)
