The standard unit of volume in the metric system is the liter. One liter is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters in volume. Other units of volume and their equivalents in liters are as follows:
1 milliliter = 0.001 liter
1 centiliter = 0.01 liter
1 deciliter = 0.1 liter
1 kiloliter = 1000 liters
From these units, we see that 1000 milliliters equal 1 liter; so 1 milliliter equals 1 cubic centimeter in volume. We symbolize these volumes as follows:
1 milliliter = 1 ml
1 centiliter = 1 cl
1 deciliter = 1 dl
1 liter = 1 l
1 kiloliter = 1 kl

∙ 15y agoImagine drawing a square on a piece of paper. Obviously, this drawing is in 2-D because although the picture has length and width, it has no height, or in other words, does not occupy space in the 3-D world.
However, the cube is in 3-D. It has all the properties of a three-dimensional object: it has length, it has width, and it has height. The cube occupies space throughout our world and is therefore a three-dimensional object.
Surface area is in 2-D. When we measure surface area, we do not measure thickness, or height. We only measure the length and width. Similarly, because the square has length and width but not height, it is used to measure surface area.
Volume, however, is in 3-D. When we measure volume, we also measure the space it occupies in our world. Similarly, the cube occupies space through our world. How could you draw a cube with a square when it has no thickness??? Therefore, we use squares to measure surface area and cubes for volume.

How do you calculate square feet to cubic yards of concrete?
I don't think you can convert a cubic dimension into a squared dimension as a cubic dimension applies to volume and a squared dimension applies to area. Length X Width = Area (squared dimension); Length X Width X Depth = Volume (cubic dimension). One square yard = nine square feet; One cubic yard = 27 cubic feet.
What do you use the water displacement method to measure?
Volume (cubic cm, cubic in. etc.)
What unit does you use for measuring volume?
Cubic meters, cubic centimeters, cubic decimeters (equal to liters), or (usually) some other cubic volume. In the United States, gallons and quarts are still used.
What unit of measurement do you use when measuring volume?
Liters, dm3.
What unit scientists use when measuring volume?
The SI unit for volume is the cubic meter: m3
After finding th square feet of an area what number would you use to convert the measurment to cubic yards?
A measurement in square feet is a measurement of area, while a measurement in cubic yards is a measurement of volume. The two units are, therefore, incompatible.You can, however, convert between square feet and square yards, or cubic feet and cubic yards.
What measurement do you use to find the volume of a hammer?
Cubic centimetres.
Which unit of measurement would you use to measure the volume of a shoebox?
Cubic centimetres.
Convert gallons to cubic feet?
For General.A (gallon) is a fluid measurement, and a (cubic foot) is a volume measurement. So to measure a gallon, you need to measure the square in. of container (use container that measures the same square in. from bottom to top), then pore in one gallon of any liquid and measure the hight it comes; multiply this by square in. of container and you have your cubic inches in that gallon. For Water.One gallon equals 0.134 cubic feet. This is granted that the water remain at constant temp., and at a point to have the stated volume.
What is the units used to measure the volume of a solid?
You can use any measurement but only if your adding cubic to it
What do cubic inches do?
They are a measure of volume in the old system of measurement - except in the US, where they still use it!
Would you use cubic meter or square yards to find the area of a football field?
Square yards. Cubic measure is for volume
Do you have to put the square or cubic sign after inches and centimeters?
You have to put the square sign when you use area and the cubic sign when you use volume. Area= Length times Width Volume= Length times Width times Height
What unit of measurement would you use for measuring the amount of water in a pool?
volume in units of gallons, liters, cubic feet, cubic meters etc
Can you use r square to find the volume of sphere inside of r cube?
No. For a volume you must have a cubic function.
Why are you required to use the word square when you find the area of an object?
To distinguish it from the volume of an object which is measured in cubic units.
