Why do you use cubic units and not square units to find the volume of solid figures?

Because you can't build a solid figure with little squares. You need little cubes.

Since volume is the amount of space inside a object that is 3D you need to use cubic units also represented by the cubed exponent. This is because in square units your seeing how much space is in a square, or circle, or something that's 2D , you get it? Whatever the dimension is that's what the exponent of the unit will be, so like a volume of a cube is 125 m^3 because it's 3d.****

Volume is measured in cubic units because it represents the three-dimensional space an object occupies, calculated using the dimensions of length, width, and height. Square units are used for area calculations, which involve only two dimensions. Therefore, cubic units, like cubic meters (m³), are necessary for accurate volume measurements.
