Question

Area is measured in____
A. sq. units
B. cm units
C. cu units
D. none of these

Answer 1

Hint: To solve this question, i.e., to fill in the blanks, we will check all the options one by one. “Sq. units” is the square of any units, it can be any \[c{m^2},{\text{ }}{m^2},m{m^2}\], etc. ‘’cm units’ is the unit of length, “cu units” is the cubic units which is unit of volume. Thus, after checking we will get our required answer to fill the blank given.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We have been given a statement with a blank. We need to fill the blank with one of the options given.
We know that the area of a shape is the size of the surface surrounded by the perimeter of the shape. So, now we will check the units of area out of given options.
We have been given four options, let us check them one by one.
Option A. sq. units – In square units, all types of areas are measured. It can be centimetre multiplied by centimetre, metre multiplied by metre, etc. So, this option is correct.
Option B. cm. units – In cm units, all lengths are measured in the CGS system. So, this option is incorrect.
Option C. cu units – In cu units, all volumes are measured. So, this option is incorrect.
Option D. none of these, since we already get our answer. So, this option is incorrect.
Thus, option A, sq. units, is correct.
So, the correct answer is “Option A”.

Note: In the question, we have been asked about the units of area, and in which unit, area is measured. There are different formulas for different areas of figures/shapes. And it is measured in square units, it can depend upon in which unit length is given.
