How to use the metric conversion

133 Views Asked by At

I know how to use the metric conversion (K h d b d m c) when converting length to length for example 1 m squared to cm, etc. But I want to know how to use the metric conversion when converting from volume to length, for example 1 L to meters or 1 cl to mm, etc. How can you use the metric conversion for this type of task? I can't remember 1 squared m= 1000 L or 1 dm squared= 1 L. I need to thoroughly know how to convert volume to length and vice versa.

I don't think you can convert volume to length. That seems like it's defying physics or something. I think you mean that you want to convert one unit of volume to another unit of volume. It happens that this second unit of volume is the cube of a length unit. For example, if I have a cube that measure 1 meter (m) in length on each side, then the volume $V$ of the cube is $$V = 1\text{ m}\times1\text{ m}\times1\text{ m} = 1\text{ m}^3$$ In other words, you want to convert to the cube of a measurement of length, or something along those lines. This can be achieved in various ways, which you can find at this site.
