In the SI measurement system, a meter is a "base unit". However, the definition relies on the prior definition of the second.

Why is a cubic centimeter a derived unit?
The basic unit is meter. Centimeter and the cubic value are derived from the basic meter.AnswerIt isn't. It's a submultiple of a 'base unit'.
Is 1 meter equaled to 1 cm cubed?
No. 1 meter is a base unit of length. 1cm³ is a derived unit for Volume. Hence 1cm³
What are the metric base units that is used for mass length and volume?
Mass: kilogram Length: meter Volume: cubic meter (this is not a base unit, since it is derived from the meter)
Is volt a metric unit?

What is the SI unit for measuring weight?
The SI unit of measurement for weight is the newton.
What is a derived for area?
If you use meters for length, then the derived unit is the square meter.
Is a cubic meter a SI unit?
m can mean milli or 10-3 and as such is a multiplier not a unit m = mass (kg) or other is a fundamental and not a derived unit M = moles is a fundamental unit m = meter is a fundamental unit and not derived
Why is square meter called derived unit?
Because it is derived - or based on - other units. In this case, the meter. 1 square meter = 1 meter x 1 meter.
What is the SI-derived unit for area?
The square meter.
Is meter a derived unit?
yes no maybe so
What is the metric base units of volume?
The meter is the metric base unit for volume, and the cubic meter is the derived unit.
What is a derived untit?
It means that it is defined on the basis of other units. For example, in the SI, the meter and the second are two of the seven "base units"; the unit for area is the square meter (meter x meter), so it is a DERIVED unit; so is the unit for speed, meters / second.
What is the SI unit of area?
The SI unit of area is the square meter (m2), which is a derived unit.
Why is a cubic centimeter a derived unit?

Why is area derived unit?
In the SI, the square meter is derived from the meter (meter x meter). But in general, which units are derived and which are base units really depends on the system of measurement chosen. You could define a unit of area as a base unit, and derive a length as the square root of that - although I don't think any serious system of units has actually done that so far.
What is the derived unit of pressure in the SI?
pascal or newton/meter square
Is 1 meter equaled to 1 cm cubed?
No. 1 meter is a base unit of length. 1cm³ is a derived unit for Volume. Hence 1cm³
