Question

match the measureable quantity given by its formula with the appropriate units.
speed = distance/time
square meters
area = (length)(width)
meters
volume = (length)(width)(height)
cubic centimeters
perimeter = 2 (length) + 2 (width)
meters per second

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze units for speed

Speed is distance divided by time. If distance is in meters and time in seconds, units are meters per second.

Step2: Analyze units for area

Area is length times width. If length and width are in meters, units are square meters ($m\times m = m^{2}$).

Step3: Analyze units for volume

Volume is length times width times height. If each is in centimeters, units are cubic centimeters ($cm\times cm\times cm=cm^{3}$).

Step4: Analyze units for perimeter

Perimeter is sum of lengths. If length and width are in meters, units are meters ($m + m=m$).

Answer:

speed = distance/time → meters per second
area = (length)(width) → square meters
volume = (length)(width)(height) → cubic centimeters
perimeter = 2 (length) + 2 (width) → meters
