Channel is ordered in which unit?

• A. Lineal Feet
• B. Square Feet
• C. Cubic Feet
• D. Meters

Answer: (A)

Channel is ordered by length because it’s a long, uniform cross-section piece and the quantity depends on how much continuous length you need along the run. You specify the total lineal feet to cover the desired spacing and fit, then cut pieces to fit. This contrasts with square feet, which measures area, or cubic feet, which measures volume—neither of which reflects how a single channel’s quantity is determined. Meters is just the metric length unit; in typical U.S. practice for channels used in lathing and plastering, lineal feet is the standard unit.
