Derived units are combinations of base SI units.
A derived unit cannot be measured directly like length or mass. It must be calculated like volume and speed.
volume = length x width x height (meter x meter x meter)
speed = distance / time (meter / seconds)

Volume = length * length * length
So talk about cubic metres, -OR- litres.
Speed is typically kilometres per hour, or metres per second.
