What can be measured by Decilitres?
Small volumes can be measured.
Why is the unit for volume cm?
It isn't. A cm is a centimetre, a unit of length. Imagine, however, a cube exactly one cm long on each edge. This cube measures one cubic centimeter, or cm3 The unit of small volumes, therefore is the cm3 (If you were curious, larger volumes are measured in litres, and very large volumes, hectolitres)
Why are square units used when working with a three-dimensional figure?
Surface area of three dimensional figures are measured in square units whereas their volumes are measured in cubic units
How are linear units square units and cubic units different?
Lines are measured with lines. For example, the length of a road is measured with standard lines (linear units) such as yards, miles, meters or kilometers. Areas are measured with areas. A field is measured with standard areas (usually square units) such as square yards, square miles, or square kiometers. Volumes are measured with volumes. A container is measured with standard volumes (often cubic units) such as square inches or square centimeters. Look out for calculations involving linear, square and cubic units. For example, a square measuring three inches on the side has an area of 3 x 3 = 9 square inches. A cubical tank measuring five meters on each side has a volume of 5 x 5 x 5 = 125 cubic meters.
What can be measured by a decigram?
Something as small a a crumb
