A Common System for Trade
In 1790, the French government appointed a committee of scientists to develop a universal measuring system.
English system of measurement originated in 1215 with the signing of the Magna Carta. It attempted to bring uniform measurements to world trade.
It took ~10 years, and they unveiled the Metric system.

Area and Volume: Derived Units
Area = length x width
= 5.0 m x 3.0 m
= 15 ( m x m)
= 15 m2
Volume = length x width x height
= 5.0 m x 3.0 m x 4.0 m
= 60 ( m x m x m)
= 60 m3
