Solution

Dear student,
Measurement is defined as the act of determining a target/object's weight, length, size, volume, capacity or any other aspect.
unit is defined as definite magnitude of a quantity. It is the standard of measurement of the same kind of quantity

The result of measurement can be expressed as any one of the 7 units of measurement
Ampere (A) for electric current
Kelvin (K) for temperature
Mole (mol) for amount of a substance
Candela (cd) for luminous intensity
Metre (m) for length
Kilogram (kg) for weight
Seconds (s) for time
Regards.
