I agree with this answer and be alert with dimensions like mm, cm, inch etc.

Example: for a rectangle, a moment of inertia I = (bh^3) /12.
Breadth b's dimension will be in m or mm or cm.
Height h's dimension also will be in m or mm or cm (in cube).
Hence, the answer is (units' product) m * m^3 = m^4.
Breadth b's dimension will be in m or mm or cm.
Height h's dimension also will be in m or mm or cm (in cube).
Hence, the answer is (units' product) m * m^3 = m^4.

For Rectangle M.I. = b*d^3 / 12.
Where b= width of rectangle & d= depth of rectangle,
so, S.I. unit of width and depth are mm or m or cm etc.
Hence, m*m^3 = m^4.
So, our answer is m^4.
Where b= width of rectangle & d= depth of rectangle,
so, S.I. unit of width and depth are mm or m or cm etc.
Hence, m*m^3 = m^4.
So, our answer is m^4.
