A unit square is a square with sides measuring 1 unit, while square units is a unit of measurement.

Area is measured in “square” units. Since each side of a square is the same, it can simply be the length of one side squared. If a square has one side of 4 inches, the area would be 4 inches times 4 inches, or 16 square inches. (Square inches can also be written in2.)

Step-by-step explanation: The surface area of any solid takes the above definition and it can also be defined as the total outer part of the solid shape. Its unit of measurement is unit².

Area

Student 1: Surface area is the number of square units that are needed to cover the surface of a three dimensional figure. Student 2: Surface area is just what you see of a three-dimensional object, not what is inside.

The area of each face of the rectangular prism above is calculated using the formula A=lw, where A = area, l = length, and w = width. The unit of measurement for area is square units, in this case inches2. Next you find the surface area by adding the area of each of the faces together.

Perimeter is a one-dimensional measurement that represents the distance around a closed geometric figure or shape (no gaps). To find perimeter, add the lengths of each side of the shape.

The mean absolute difference (univariate) is a measure of statistical dispersion equal to the average absolute difference of two independent values drawn from a probability distribution. The mean absolute difference is sometimes denoted by Δ or as MD.

RULE 2: The quotient of two positive integers is positive. RULE 3: The quotient of two negative integers is positive. If the signs are different the answer is negative. If the signs are alike the answer is positive.
