How do you convert a cubic meter to meter?

Answer 1

To convert a cubic meter to a meter, you just take the cubic root of the cubic meter:

Cubic Root(m^3) = m

Which is the same as:

(m^3)^1/3 = m^(3*(1/3)) = m^1 = m.

That is not quite right. It only applies to the linear dimension of a cube. In general, a cubic metre is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L^3]. A metre is a measure of distance, with dimensions [L]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.
