Do you use square or cubic measurement for volume?

Answer 1

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

For reference, 1 liter is a little more than 1 quart. One teaspoon equals about 5 milliliters.

Answer 2

Imagine 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.

Answer 3

Cubic measurement is typically used for volume, as it provides the total space occupied by an object in three dimensions (length, width, and height). Square measurements, on the other hand, are used for area calculations in two dimensions.

Answer 4

You should use cubic measurement.
