How are units of measurement chosen and interpreted in formulas?

Unit of measurement in a formula suggests a definite magnitude of a certain quantity. For instance, there are basic unit of measurement for the 7 basic quantities: These are
1. seconds (s) for time
2. meter (m) for length
3. candela (cd) for luminous intensity
4. Ampere (A) for electric current
5. Kelvin (K) for Temperature
6. Kilogram (kg) for mass
7. mole (mol) for amount of substance
These units of measure should be homogenous in a formula for easy interpretation. Other derived quantities (e.g volume) also have their corresponding units as well as those quantities which are not based on the metric systems (e.g Celsius, pounds, etc)

An atrium is being designed to house an exhibit of tropical birds. The atrium must enclose 250,000 cubic feet of space, and the

9966 [12]

The proposed design of the atrium (V < V') is possible since its volume is less than the maximum possible atrium.

<h3>Can this atrium be built in the rectangular plot of land?</h3>

The atrium with the maximum allowable radius (R), in feet, is represented in the image attached. The real atrium is possible if and only if the real radius (r) is less than the maximum allowable radius and therefore, the real volume (V), in cubic feet, must be less than than maximum possible volume (V'), in cubic feet.

First, we calculate the volume occupied by the maximum allowable radius:

V' = (8 · π / 3) · (45 ft)³

V' ≈ 763407.015 ft³

The proposed design of the atrium (V < V') is possible since its volume is less than the maximum possible atrium. $\blacksquare$
