that depends on what you set them to in the first place if they are in default example US standard that is what they measure too,

you would also set the unit before you start modeling https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/3DSMax/files/GUID-69E92759-6CD9-4663-B993-635D081853D2-htm.html

if you are gonna export your model into a game engine most game engines use meters or centermeters/centremeters,

on the top menu you see custom, select that then go to units setup the first box you see is your units setup and then you display unit box, if you click that then max will display your display units,
