It is a term that is not properly defined. It could, most likely, refer to a line that is 1 unit long, or a square that is 1 unit*1 unit, or a cube of sides 1 unit, or indeed a hypercube in higher dimensions
The unit in question would normally be a standard measure of length such as a centimetre, metre, kilometre, inch, foot, mile, light year, parsec. But, equally, it could be the length of the little finger on your right hand!

What unit does perimeter measure in?
it depends on the shape. the unit should be given
How do you find out the area of a composite figure?
There are different formulae for different shapes. Try to break down the composite firgure into components that you can add together (or subtract one from the other). An annulus, for example, is a big circle minus a smaller circle. Areas of squares, triangles, trapeziums, circles, semicircles and the process described anove will answer most high school questions. For more complex figures you may need to look elsewhere. Copy the shape onto a lamina of uniform density. Cut out the shape and find its mass. Also find the mass of a unit square of the lamina. Then area of composite shape = size of unit shape*mass of composite shaped lamina/mass of unit shape.
How do you estimate the area of an irregular shape using unit squares?
To find the area, first divide the shape into regular, simple shapes. Then use formulas to find the area of the smaller, regular shapes. Lastly, add up all the smaller areas to find the area of the original shape.
How do you draw a shape in which is the perimeter numerically twice the area?
Pick a unit. Draw a square that has two of those units on each side.
What is regular and irregular shape?
regular shape is a shape that has same sides irregular shape is a shape that has diffrent sides
Can any tessellating shape be used as a unit for measuring area?
Yes a unit for measure can be used as a tessellating shape:)
What unit does perimeter measure in?
it depends on the shape. the unit should be given
What is an arb unit?
An arb. unit is an arbitrary unit. You see these in plots where the specific values are not of important, but the shape of the curve is.
Does the area of a shape have to be called a square unit?
Yes.
What is a group of lines that form a single unit?
polygon a shape
How do you calcutale cm into cubes?
you do not, one is a unit of measure, the other is a shape.
What shape is smaller then a decimetre?
A decimetre is not a shape but a unit for measuring length. A centimetre and millimetre are smaller as are micrometres, nanometres and others.
Why was the light bulb called the light bulb?
1) because the unit has a bulbous shape (the outer glass bit) 2) because the unit produces/emits light. The name is an exact description of that it does and its shape.
What is the unit for volume of a regular shape block that was measure in centimeters?
Cubic centimeter.
What is a substance no matter what state or shape is its mass per unit volume is what?
density
What does shape have to do with density?
Nothing. Since density is defined as the mass per unit volume. Shape is different from size. Size, of course, is related to the volume. Hence Shape is irrelevent.
What is the perimeter of a square if the area is ten inches?
The area of any shape should be in SQUARE unit, and not only unit. So the question is wrong!
