What are the three basic unit of measurement for length mass and volume?

In the SI (metric) system, the basic unit of length is the meter, and the basic unit
of mass is the kilogram. Volume is not a fundamental quantity, like distance and
mass are, since it's made from the cube of the meter.

How many feet in one gallon?
None because you cannot convert length into volume. Length is a one-dimensional measurement of how long something is and volume is a three-dimensional measurement of how much material is in something.
What are the three basic units of the metric system and what do they measure?
metre - length/distance litre-volume kilogram-mass
What are the three features that are required for a measurement system?
length width height
What is the correct unit o measurement for volume?
The volume of any solid, liquid, gas, plasma, vacuum or theoretical object is how much three-dimensional space it occupies, often quantified numerically. The volume can be measured in cubic meters, cubic centimeters, or liters. The units of the three-dimensional volume depend on the units of length - if the lengths are in meters, the volume will be in cubic meters, etc. To measure a square or cube: Volume = length times width times height.
Three milligrams equals how many milliliters?
Milligram is a measurement of mass Millilitre is a measurement of volume The 2 are not directly comparable. 1mg of Mercury will have a different volume than 1mg of water for example. This is because both liquids have a different density.
How do you convert length to volume?
Length and volume are not equivalent measurements. Length is a two dimensional measurement while volume is a three dimensional measurement.
What are volume and length?
Length is a one dimensional measurement of an object, and volume is a three-dimensional measurement of an object - its length times its height times its width.
Are length and volume alike?
Length and volume can both be used to estimate how large something is, but they are really different types of things. Length is just one dimension of measurement, and volume requires three dimensions of measurement.
How many feet in one gallon?
None because you cannot convert length into volume. Length is a one-dimensional measurement of how long something is and volume is a three-dimensional measurement of how much material is in something.
How are length area and volume related in terms of the 3 dimensions in space?
Length is the measurement of a one-dimensional quantity. Area is the measurement of a two-dimensional quantity. Volume is the measurement of a three-dimensional quantity. A solid object that exists only temporarily can be described with four dimensions.
How do you calculate cm3?
Cubic centimeter or cm3 is a measurement of volume. To find volume in cm3, you need to have three dimensions, such as length, width and height for a cube given in centimeters. By multiplying these three measurements, you find the volume in cubic centimeters.
How many millimeters are there in three-quarters of a liter?
Millimeter is a measurement of length. Liter is a measure of volume. One cannot be converted to the other.
What are the three basic units of the metric system and what do they measure?
metre - length/distance litre-volume kilogram-mass
How do you find the volume if you have the height length and width?
Multiply the height times the length times the width, You need to insure that all three dimensions (height, length, width) use the same measurement units. All three sides must be in the same feet, yards, meters, etc and if not the measurement needs to be converted to be the same as the other sides.
How many gallons in a 3'x10' tank?
In order to work out a volume three measurements are needed length, depth and hight. If you supply the last measurement I can tell you the answer.
How are area and volume alike?
Area is the measurement of the two-dimensional size of an object, and volume is the measurement of the size of an object in three dimensions.
Why is volume in cube units?
Because volume has three dimensions: A line has one dimension: length An area has two dimensions: length and width Volume has three dimensions: length, width and depth.
