The calculator shown on this page allows you to make volume conversions from one "unit of measurement to" another. We recall in this regard that the unit of measurement of the volume (space occupied by a body), in the International System of units of measurement, is the cubic meter, which corresponds to the volume enclosed by a cube having sides of length equal to 1 meter.
The volume of the cube is obtained by raising the length of one side to the third (therefore to the cube):
Cubic volume = l x l x l
where l is precisely the length of one side.
Therefore, a cube with a side equal to one meter has a volume of one cubic meter (1m x 1m x 1m = 1m3), while a cube with a side equal to two meters has a volume of eight cubic meters (2m x 2m x 2m = 8m3).Now let's try to carry out the same operations for a cube with a side equal to one decimeter (10 cm or 0.1 m); we obtain that its volume is equal to 1 dm3 (1dm x 1dm x 1dm), equal to 0.001 m3 (0.1m x 0.1m x 0.1m) or 1000 cm3 (10cm x 10cm x 10 cm).
In addition to the cubic meter, another commonly used unit of measurement is the liter, which is equivalent to one cubic decimeter.
