A milliliter is comparable to one cubic centimeter, so if you have 8 ml of water, you have 8 centimeters cubed.

A graduated cylinder is typically marked in milliliters (mL) for liquid volume measurements. The markings on the cylinder indicate the volume of liquid contained within.
The increase in volume of the water when the cylinder is added is equal to the volume of the cylinder. So, the volume of the cylinder is 21.4 mL - 15 mL = 6.4 mL. Since the metal cylinder is immersed in water, the volume of the metal cylinder is 6.4 mL.
Using a 10 ML graduated cylinder you can read 2 decimal places. This is also measuring volume.
The smallest amount of liquid that can be accurately measured in a graduated cylinder will depend on the smallest graduation markings on the cylinder. Generally, for most graduated cylinders, the smallest measurable volume is around 0.1 mL.
The property being measured would be volume, and the metric unit used would be milliliters (ml). Graduated cylinders are commonly used to measure the volume of liquids in milliliters.
