In some cases, multiplying measurements can result in a derived unit. Derived units are created by combining base units in a specific way, such as meters (a base unit) multiplied by seconds (another base unit) resulting in meters per second (a derived unit for speed).
The unit for force, the newton (N), is a derived unit in the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the base units of mass, length, and time.
Yes. There is no SI fundamental unit for volume, so any volume unit is derived.
Newton, the unit of force, is defined based on Newton's Second Law (F=ma), as the force required to give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of 1 meter/second2. Thus, it is derived from these other units.
No, the ampere is not a derived unit. It is a base SI unit that represents electrical current. It is defined as the amount of electric charge that flows through a conductor per unit time.
A "watt" is a derived unit of power.

It makes sense to multiply when converting measurements to smaller units because it takes many smaller units to make up a larger unit. So in order to translate larger unit(s) into smaller units, you have to break up the larger unit(s) into many smaller pieces.
A unit of measure is an officially standard used to make measurements.
Linear measurements in the metric system are based on the meter, which is the fundamental unit of length. Other units such as centimeters, millimeters, and kilometers are derived from the meter using prefixes.
Example. (meters to millimeters) There are more millimeters in a metre(1000 to be precise) Therefore you multiply by 1000 to get from metres to millimeters That is wrong we don't want an example You have multiply because the larger unit has to broken down into plenty of smaller measurements or units. When you do that the number is multiplied into many smaller units.

yes, cubic centimeter is a derived unit.
Make sure both length and width are measured in meters and multiply. The unit with be the area in square meters. The length and width alone can't be square measurements because they are one dimentional
