Metric Measurement – Lab #3

We also use the cubic meter(m3) often in science to measure large volumes in space. Any dimensional relationship such as 100 cm = 1 m can be used to derive a volume unit relationship simply by “cubing” BOTH sides of the relationship so for example: 100 cm = 1 m cubed would be: (100 cm)(100 cm)(100 cm) = (1m)(1m)(1m) or 1 X 106 cm3 = 1 m3 ................
